Asbestos removal across City of London
Found asbestos during building work in City of London? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Cost
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Duty holders and landlords in City of London
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Choosing the right option
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories.
Comparing quotes
- The documents you will receive

After we’ve finished in City of London
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Common questions in City of London
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in City of London?
Yes, we do: our area includes City of London and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do you test before removing asbestos in City of London?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
