Asbestos removal near Dalston
Asbestos removal in Dalston covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and old waste on site, including gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In places like Dalston, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

FAQs for Dalston
Do you cover Dalston and the area around Dalston Junction station?
Yes, we cover Dalston, including the streets around Dalston Junction station.
Is asbestos common in Dalston homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Dalston can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
