Asbestos removal near Aldwych
Asbestos removal in Aldwych covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we deal with cement soffits, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Aldwych, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
- Visible markings
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After we have finished:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Aldwych
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older buildings across Aldwych, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
