Asbestos Disposal Croydon

Licensed asbestos disposal across Croydon, Purley, Coulsdon, Thornton Heath, Addiscombe and all CR postcodes. Skip hire, RoRo and van collection with transparent pricing and full Duty of Care paperwork.

Asbestos disposal across Croydon and district

Croydon is one of London’s largest boroughs and has a huge stock of pre-2000 property — Victorian and Edwardian terraces through Thornton Heath, South Norwood and Addiscombe, extensive inter-war semis across Purley, Sanderstead and Shirley, and post-war estates in New Addington and Fieldway. Garage roofs, soffits, flue pipes, Artex ceilings, pipe lagging and old boilers in these properties commonly contain asbestos that needs safe, legal disposal.

The Waste Group arranges licensed asbestos disposal across Croydon and the CR postcode range, fulfilled through our accredited national disposal partner. Because that partner operates the largest asbestos waste transfer station in the South East, Croydon sits in our lowest-cost pricing zone — cheaper than the same job on our Dorset home patch. Depending on quantity you can book van collection for small domestic jobs, an asbestos skip for medium jobs, or a RoRo for larger commercial clearances. Every booking includes the Waste Consignment Note.

Do you need asbestos removal or asbestos disposal?

These are two different services and the difference matters:

Asbestos removal means stripping asbestos out of a building. For most asbestos types this must be done by an HSE-licensed removal contractor. We do not provide this service.
Asbestos disposal means taking away asbestos that has already been removed, bagged or wrapped. This is what we do.

If you have loose garage roof sheets, broken ceiling tiles, bags of material from a roofer, or an old boiler flue that has already been taken out — you need disposal. Call us on 01202 247716.

Asbestos skip hire in Croydon

Asbestos skip hire suits medium-sized jobs — tradespeople clearing a domestic project, commercial property owners, landlords working through multiple garages, or builders on an extension or conversion. Asbestos skips are supplied sealed and compliant with hazardous waste regulations, and collected directly for licensed disposal.

6 yard open asbestos skip — small to medium loads such as a single garage roof strip.
12 yard open asbestos skip — larger domestic clearances or a small commercial job.
16 yard enclosed asbestos skip — fully enclosed, recommended for roadside or commercial sites.

All sizes include 2 tonnes. Croydon falls within our Zone 1–3 pricing area — our lowest-cost asbestos zone.

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos skip hire quote.

Asbestos RoRo hire in Croydon

Roll-on roll-off containers suit larger asbestos clearances — demolition projects, multi-property landlord clearances, commercial units around Purley Way and the Croydon industrial estates, or full building strip-outs. RoRos need good vehicle access, so they work best on yards and larger sites rather than narrow residential streets.

20 yard open RoRo — medium-to-large loads where an open-top container works on site.
40 yard open RoRo — the largest commercial and demolition jobs.
35 yard enclosed RoRo — fully enclosed, required for some site permits.

All RoRo sizes include 3 tonnes. Croydon falls within Zone 1–3.

Asbestos RoRo hire Croydon — prices

RoRo size	Includes	Price (inc VAT)
20 yard open	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
40 yard open	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
35 yard enclosed	Up to 3 tonnes	£2,599
Excess tonnage	Per tonne	£396

All prices include VAT. Admin fee and standard terms apply.

Call 01202 247716 for an asbestos RoRo hire quote.

Asbestos van collection for Croydon homeowners

Van collection is the right option for smaller domestic jobs — a couple of garage roof sheets, an old Artex ceiling stash, a removed boiler flue, or a few bags left by a roofer. You package the asbestos to specification, we send a van to your Croydon address, our driver loads it, and you receive your Waste Consignment Note.

How it works

Package the asbestos. Whole sheets (max 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg each) wrapped in 1000-gauge polythene. Smaller pieces double-bagged in red asbestos bags, max 15kg per bag.
Book the collection. Call 01202 247716 with your item count and postcode. We confirm a collection day, usually within 3 to 5 working days.
Driver collects. Our driver loads the material and issues your Waste Consignment Note on the spot.
Licensed disposal. Transported under ADR regulations to a licensed hazardous waste facility.

Asbestos van collection Croydon — prices

Item	Price (inc VAT)
Transport charge	£245
Per bag (10–15 kg)	£11.05
Per sheet or wrap (20–25 kg)	£22.35
Per door or boiler (30 kg)	£46.10
Consignment note	£50

Typical Croydon van collection costs

Small garage roof — 10 cement sheets wrapped: £245 + (10 × £22.35) + £50 = £518.50 inc VAT
Old boiler flue and 4 bags of Artex rubble: £245 + £46.10 + (4 × £11.05) + £50 = £385.30 inc VAT
Large double garage roof — 20 sheets wrapped: £245 + (20 × £22.35) + £50 = £742 inc VAT

All prices include VAT. If the total load exceeds 1 tonne, a second collection may be required.

How to prepare asbestos safely for collection

Asbestos must be packaged correctly before our driver arrives. This protects you, our driver, and anyone handling the waste at the disposal facility.

Do not break sheets or sand surfaces — keep material intact. Broken edges release fibres.
Wrap whole sheets in 1000-gauge polythene. Standard sheets are 6ft × 3ft, up to 25kg.
Double-bag smaller pieces in red asbestos bags, max 15kg.
Label clearly with asbestos warning markings.
Dampen material lightly to reduce dust. Do not soak it.
Wear proper PPE — disposable coveralls, FFP3 mask, gloves, goggles. Dispose of used PPE with the asbestos.
If you are not confident handling it, hire a licensed removal contractor. We will dispose of what they bag.

For detailed guidance see the HSE asbestos essentials guide.

Fully licensed disposal with full Duty of Care paperwork

The Waste Group’s asbestos disposal service is fulfilled through our national disposal partner — a market-leading asbestos waste specialist operating since 2000, with the largest asbestos waste transfer station in the South East of England. For Croydon that infrastructure is close to home, which is why the area sits in our lowest pricing zone.

Waste Consignment Note (HWCN) — legally required for all hazardous waste movement. Issued on collection.
Licensed waste carrier — full Environment Agency waste carrier registration.
ADR-regulated transport — moved under dangerous goods regulations by ADR-qualified drivers.
Licensed hazardous waste facility — permitted transfer station then licensed landfill cells. Disposal certificate on request.
Industry accreditations — ARCA-accredited, FORS Silver certified, ESA and NFDC member.
Both cement-bonded and fibrous asbestos accepted — including AIB, pipe lagging, Artex, boiler insulation and contaminated soil.

Can a recycling centre in Croydon take your asbestos?

Croydon’s household waste sites are run through the South London Waste Partnership, and asbestos is heavily restricted at London reuse and recycling centres. Where it is accepted at all it is bonded (cement) asbestos only, in small quantities, by pre-booked appointment and for residents of the partner boroughs only. Always check and book with the council before travelling — do not turn up with asbestos.

When you will need a licensed collection instead

You have non-bonded asbestos — Artex, pipe lagging, AIB, boiler insulation or floor tiles. Council sites will not take these; we will.
You have more than a couple of sealed sheets — a full garage roof will exceed any per-visit limit.
You don’t want to transport hazardous waste across south London in your own vehicle.
The waste is from a commercial property, a rental you let out, or any income-generating work — council sites take household waste only.

Asbestos disposal Croydon — frequently asked questions

How much does asbestos disposal cost in Croydon?

Croydon falls within our Zone 1–3 pricing area — London and the South East — our lowest-cost zone. Van collection starts at £245 transport plus £22.35 per sheet or £11.05 per bag. An asbestos skip (6, 12 or 16 yard) is £2,167 inc VAT including up to 2 tonnes, and a RoRo is £2,599 inc VAT including 3 tonnes. Every job includes the Waste Consignment Note.

Can I take asbestos to a Croydon recycling centre?

Asbestos is heavily restricted at London reuse and recycling centres. Where accepted at all it is bonded (cement) asbestos only, in small quantities, by pre-booked appointment and for residents of the partner boroughs only — so check and book with the council before travelling. Non-bonded types such as Artex, pipe lagging and insulation are not accepted, and neither is commercial waste. For those cases a licensed collection is the practical choice.

Can I put asbestos in a regular skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must never be mixed with general waste. If asbestos is found in a standard skip, the whole load is treated as hazardous and charged at hazardous waste rates. Asbestos must go in a sealed asbestos skip or be collected by van, always with a Waste Consignment Note.

What types of asbestos do you accept?

Both cement-bonded and non-bonded (fibrous) asbestos — including AIB (asbestos insulating board), Artex, pipe lagging, boiler insulation, floor tiles and contaminated soil, not just cement sheets. This is the key difference from council sites, which take bonded cement asbestos only where they take it at all.

Do I need a licence to dispose of asbestos from my own home?

Householders do not need a waste carrier licence to dispose of asbestos from their own property, but the disposal itself must go through a licensed carrier and be accompanied by a Waste Consignment Note. Our service provides both, so your disposal is fully documented and legal.

How quickly can you collect asbestos in Croydon?

Most van collections in Croydon can be booked within 3 to 5 working days. Skip and RoRo deliveries typically take 2 to 3 working days from booking. Call 01202 247716 to check current availability.
