Asbestos removal for Collier Row
Asbestos removal in Collier Row
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. We often deal with water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and old cold water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Collier Row, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Collier Row: your questions answered
Do older homes in Collier Row have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Collier Row with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can I do it myself?
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 professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Collier Row
