Asbestos can be found in countless buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Schools, homes, offices, industrial units, garages, and other premises still contain asbestos in different locations, such as floor and ceiling tiles, asbestos insulation boards, cement panels, textured coatings, pipe lagging, water tanks and other common areas.
Due to the dangers caused by asbestos when its fibres become airborne and can be inhaled, it is essential that all asbestos is managed and monitored carefully. Unfortunately, it is still believed that 5000 people die every year due to asbestos exposure, and symptoms of asbestos-related illnesses will only become apparent many years later when it is too late to do anything about it.
Our asbestos contractors carry out both non-licensed and licensed asbestos work. We come highly recommended – please see our Google reviews.

Reviews for our asbestos services in Woolwich
Does your house in Woolwich, SE18, have an asbestos garage?
Asbestos can often go unnoticed and may not pose a risk to health unless the asbestos is damaged and the fibres are released into the air. However, if asbestos is found in your garage walls or roof in Woolwich, it is important to follow proper procedures to remove it correctly.
Our asbestos removals will be completed by trained and certified experts. So we can complete the job whether you require the whole garage to be removed or just the roof. Our operatives can also re-roof any outdoor structure with long-lasting and robust materials.
The most commonly found type of asbestos in garages is Chrysotile. Chrysotile fibres are often fine, very flexible, and highly resistant to heat. The other main asbestos types are amosite or brown asbestos and crocidolite, also known as blue asbestos.
Asbestos is now known to cause the following diseases: Mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer, asbestosis and pleural thickening.

What is the purpose of a Woolwich Asbestos Management Survey?
An Asbestos Management Survey is the primary type of asbestos survey. It aims to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence of any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Our comprehensive surveys will:
- Record the location, extent and type of any ACMs
- Give information about the accessibility, condition, and surface treatment of any presumed ACMs
- Record the type of asbestos present – this will either be done via presumption or sampling at a UKAS-accredited laboratory
The survey aims to ensure that no one in the building accidentally disturbs any ACMs during everyday activity, that the ACMs remain in a stable condition (this is completed with Re-Inspection Surveys), and to protect people from the harm of ACMs. Therefore, this type of survey will not cause significant damage.
We can also provide Asbestos Pre-Purchase Surveys if you are buying a property to ascertain if there are any ACMs present and how they should be managed.
Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys carried out in Woolwich
An Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Survey in Ashford is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work takes place. This type of survey is significantly more intrusive than a management survey. It will involve destructive techniques to access the fabric of the building, such as lifting floorboards and accessing roof spaces.
Our qualified asbestos surveyors can complete this work following the strictest guidelines and codes of practice. In addition, they will make recommendations regarding whether the materials can be managed in situ and, if a building is going to be demolished, whether the removals need to be completed by Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractors.
Woolwich asbestos sample analysis
We can offer one of our regular asbestos sampling and testing in Woolwich. With a fast turnaround of samples, all asbestos samples are sent to a UKAS-accredited asbestos laboratory, where they will be analysed.
Following any analysis, you will be provided with a report confirming if asbestos is present. In addition, all survey reports include recommendations and risk assessments. Therefore, the testing and analysis are highly accurate, and any material suspected of containing asbestos can be tested, including roofing, flooring, insulation, and more.
