How asbestos removal works in SW14
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Typical materials include water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and asbestos found during building work.
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note

Removing asbestos in SW14
Common removal jobs in SW14 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Richmond upon Thames, Barnes and Chiswick and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Mortlake: Older buildings in Mortlake, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. In a school like Thomson House School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. We plan outdoor jobs in Mortlake to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right.
