How asbestos removal works in Chelsea Harbour
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. Typical jobs include old flues and textured coatings, involving cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In places like Chelsea Harbour, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Typical removal jobs in Chelsea Harbour
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
At a school such as Chelsea Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Chelsea Harbour: your questions answered
Do older homes in Chelsea Harbour have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chelsea Harbour may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chelsea Harbour and the area around Imperial Wharf station?
Yes. Imperial Wharf station is close to the centre of Chelsea Harbour, and we cover the whole area.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
