Asbestos removal near Aldersbrook
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
About our asbestos removal in Aldersbrook
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. People often contact us about asbestos garages and outbuildings with cement roofs, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In Aldersbrook, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Aldersbrook, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Questions from Aldersbrook
Can you work in Aldersbrook with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Aldersbrook have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Aldersbrook?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
After we’ve finished in Aldersbrook
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
