About our asbestos removal in Aldgate
In homes, in Aldgate as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and loft water tanks, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Aldgate, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Aldgate must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common questions in Aldgate
Could my house in Aldgate contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Aldgate with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
