Asbestos Removal in Croydon
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Croydon, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Greater London.
Asbestos in Croydon
Croydon pairs a high-rise post-war commercial core — the office towers thrown up in the 1960s when it became 'mini-Manhattan' — with vast interwar suburbs and outer estates like New Addington. Those mid-century office blocks and council towers used sprayed coatings to steel frames and asbestos insulating board to risers, while the surrounding semis and terraces hide artex, floor tiles and asbestos cement garages.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Croydon properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Croydon: FAQs
Do Croydon's office blocks need an asbestos survey before refurbishment?
Almost always — Croydon's 1960s-70s commercial towers commonly contain sprayed coatings, AIB and lagging, so a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations before any strip-out begins. We survey across the borough and the wider CR postcodes.
How much is an asbestos survey for a Croydon semi?
A management survey for a typical interwar Croydon semi starts from around £200, including sampling of suspect artex, floor tiles and garage roofs with a UKAS-accredited written register. We confirm the price before attending.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
