About asbestos removal in SW16

Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and old floor tiles and black adhesive.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in SW16
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in SW16, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Common reasons for removal jobs in SW16
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
What we do and do not cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- File the consignment note
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Common questions in SW16
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
