About asbestos removal in SE21
In homes, in SE21 as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

West Dulwich: If you’re on or near the A2199, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted. Older buildings in West Dulwich, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. In winter, the light goes in West Dulwich by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
The scope of asbestos removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in SE21, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Your questions about asbestos removal in SE21
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Yes, we do: our area includes SE21 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
