Asbestos removal near Chingford Hatch

What happens next
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After we’ve finished:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Questions from Chingford Hatch
Do you work near Highams Park station?
Yes. Highams Park station is about 0.7 miles south of Chingford Hatch, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Chingford Hatch have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chingford Hatch can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Typical jobs in Chingford Hatch include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
On busy roads like the A1009, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Any exclusions
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
