Asbestos removal near Dagenham
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about old waste on site and Artex before plastering, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around Dagenham often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Dagenham
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
In a school like Village Infants' School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- How fibres will be kept down
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Dagenham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- Reports and results you can share
- Clear advice on your options
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Waste paperwork for every removal

Common questions in Dagenham
Is asbestos common in Dagenham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dagenham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Dagenham despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
After we’ve finished in Dagenham
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we have finished:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
