Asbestos removal in Bloomsbury
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Removal jobs around Bloomsbury often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Bloomsbury questions
Do older homes in Bloomsbury have asbestos?
If your home in Bloomsbury was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Bloomsbury and the area around London Euston station?
Yes. London Euston station is about 0.6 miles north-west of Bloomsbury, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you cover Bloomsbury?
We do: our area includes Bloomsbury and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Duty holders and landlords in Bloomsbury
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bloomsbury, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings

Which option is right?
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. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Covering London and the South East
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Other services in Bloomsbury
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
