Asbestos removal for Donnybrook Quarter properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Donnybrook Quarter falls into that category. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roof sheets.
In areas like Donnybrook Quarter, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Donnybrook Quarter
Do you work near Hackney Wick station?
Yes. Hackney Wick station is about 0.5 miles north of Donnybrook Quarter, and we cover both.
Could my house in Donnybrook Quarter contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Donnybrook Quarter?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Donnybrook Quarter must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
