Asbestos removal in Angel
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From asbestos found during building work and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In places like Angel, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Angel
Is asbestos common in Angel homes?
Any home in Angel built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Angel despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
