Asbestos removal across CR9
Removal jobs across CR9 range from garage roofs in Croydon, Woodside and Ashburton to barns and outbuildings in 1 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.
Croydon: Older buildings in Croydon, near St Andrew's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. At a school such as Heathfield Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. In winter, the light goes in Croydon by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you run a business from older premises in CR9, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Why people call us in CR9
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
Options to consider in CR9
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.
Before booking anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How fibres will be kept down
- What isn’t included
- Suitable insurance for the work
How we price asbestos removal
When we quote, we look at:
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

After we’ve finished in CR9
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Questions from CR9
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How much does asbestos removal cost in CR9?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
