Asbestos cement was the workhorse building product of post-war Britain and Croydon built a lot of Britain in those decades. Corrugated roof sheets, wall panels, soffits, rainwater goods and boiler flues turn up constantly in interwar semis, post-war estates and older commercial units across the borough.
Whether it’s a single flue behind a Shirley boiler or full sheeting on a Purley Way unit, we remove cement products intact wherever physically possible, wrap and bag on site, and route everything to a licensed facility.
Whole-sheet handling no cutting, no breaking, no power tools
Fixed price covering labour, disposal and consignment note
A surveyor inspects the material, confirms scope, and where identity is in doubt, samples go to a UKAS-accredited lab before anything is quoted.
Your quotation arrives within 48 hours and includes everything: labour, wrapping, transport, disposal fees and documentation.
Sheets and panels come off whole, are damped where appropriate, and are never dropped, snapped or dry-swept. Fixings are removed, not forced.
Double-bagged waste travels via registered carrier to a licensed facility. Your consignment note follows on completion.
Intact handling is the single biggest factor in keeping fibre release near zero
Disposal fees and paperwork included, never invoiced as extras
We do not revise a price once confirmed in writing. No estimates, no additional charges on completion.
Consignment note on every job, kept on file if you ever lose yours
FAQS
You can’t reliably tell by eye; asbestos cement and modern fibre cement look near-identical. Age is the best clue: anything installed before 2000 should be presumed to contain asbestos until a lab sample says otherwise. We can sample and confirm within days.
Sound, undisturbed cement is a low-risk material because the fibres are locked in the cement matrix. Risk climbs when it weathers, cracks or gets drilled and broken. If yours is intact, managing it in place is often a legitimate option; we’ll tell you honestly which side of the line yours sits.
No. Asbestos cement is hazardous waste under the 2005 Regulations; household recycling centres and general skips can’t take it. It must be double-bagged, carried by a registered carrier and consigned to a licensed facility, which is exactly what your fixed price covers.
Yes. Flues, cold water tanks, soffits, fascias, wall cladding and rainwater goods are all routine work. Flue removal usually pairs with a boiler replacement; we coordinate timing with your heating engineer so nobody’s left waiting.
It depends on quantity, access and condition, which is why we quote after a free survey rather than guessing over the phone. What we can promise: the written figure you receive within 48 hours is fixed, and it includes disposal and documentation.
No. Ground sheets go down first, waste is bagged at the point of removal, and the area is left swept and clear. It’s your home, not a demolition site; we work accordingly.
No. Every operative on your job is UKATA-trained and part of our own team. No agency labour, no unfamiliar faces, and one accountable name on the paperwork from survey to consignment note.
Typically inside a fortnight: survey within the week, fixed price within 48 hours, and most single-item domestic removals completed in one visit shortly after. If you’re working to a builder’s or buyer’s deadline, say so; deadline jobs get priority slots.
All of it: every CR postcode plus the bordering SE25, SE19 and SW16 streets, from Norbury down to Old Coulsdon. Send your postcode with a photo and the same-week promise applies wherever you are.
