Asbestos removal in Bow
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and old flues, we deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In a village like Bow, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos

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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Across London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
Take a look at how we quote or the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Bow questions
Do you cover Bow from London?
We cover Bow, about 61 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Bow?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Bow were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bow
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In a school like Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
