For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Fulham, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across South West London.
Asbestos in Fulham
Fulham is overwhelmingly late-Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, much of it now heavily reworked with side returns, full-width rear extensions and basement digs. Almost every one of those projects disturbs building fabric added in the 1950s to 1980s rather than the original Victorian shell: AIB behind boilers and under stair soffits, asbestos cement flues and soil pipes, textured ceiling coatings, and bitumen-backed vinyl tiles under later flooring. Basement excavation adds the complication of buried asbestos cement drainage and fragments in made ground. There is also a substantial estate and mansion-block stock towards Sands End and the Fulham Palace Road with communal plant to manage.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Fulham 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 Fulham: FAQs
I am doing a basement dig and rear extension in Fulham — which survey do I need?
A refurbishment and demolition survey covering the areas being opened up, not a management survey, because the works are intrusive and the point is to find what your contractor will break into. Scope it to the rear structure, the existing lower ground floor, any boiler and flue runs and the drainage being diverted. It is priced above the £200 to £300 you would pay for a management survey because of the destructive access and sample count, and it should be done before the party wall works start so the findings do not delay you.
The old boiler cupboard in my terrace has a white board lining — is that licensed work?
It may well be asbestos insulating board, which is licensed work and can only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor under a notification submitted fourteen days in advance. Confirm it first with a single sample at around £50 to £80 rather than guessing, because AIB and non-asbestos boards look similar and the cost difference is large. If it is AIB and it is sound, leaving it in place and recording it is a legitimate option unless the cupboard is being demolished.
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.
