About our asbestos removal in East Sheen
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about textured coatings and broken sheets in gardens, including floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In places like East Sheen, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in East Sheen
Do you work near Mortlake station?
Yes. Mortlake station is close to the centre of East Sheen, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in East Sheen with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work in East Sheen?
Yes, East Sheen is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:

- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings

Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Domestic and commercial work
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
See our prices page and published price ranges.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement flues and gutters
Older buildings in East Sheen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
