Common questions in Barkingside
Do you cover Barkingside and the area around Seven Kings station?
Yes, we cover Barkingside and the area towards Seven Kings station, about 1.6 miles south.
Can you work in Barkingside with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Asbestos removal near Barkingside
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Barkingside falls into that category. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and broken sheets in gardens, including floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Barkingside, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Your options compared
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

See how we quote or published price ranges.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
