Asbestos Removal Streatham

Streatham developed rapidly in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, and then again between the wars, when the extension of the tram network made it accessible to workers who could not afford central London rents. The result is a dense residential area where the majority of properties were built between 1890 and 1970 — precisely the period when asbestos was used most extensively in UK construction.

In Streatham's Victorian terraces, the most common asbestos materials are pipe lagging around old hot water systems and boiler insulation in under-stair cupboards. In the inter-war semis that line the roads off Streatham High Road, asbestos cement garage roofs are almost universal. In the post-war flats and houses built through the 1960s and 1970s, artex ceilings, asbestos floor tiles, and asbestos insulation board behind boiler cupboards are the most frequently encountered materials.
