About our asbestos removal in City of London
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment, we cover cement soffits, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In areas like City of London, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Where asbestos turns up
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
For rentals close to London Cannon Street station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Common questions in City of London
Do you cover City of London and the area around London Cannon Street station?
Yes, we cover City of London, including the streets around London Cannon Street station.
Can you work in City of London with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. In winter, the light goes in City of London by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
