Asbestos removal for East Village
About our asbestos removal in East Village
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets and more.
In London neighbourhoods like East Village, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common reasons for removal jobs in East Village
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in East Village:
- Materials found mid-project
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For rentals close to Stratford International station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Asbestos removal in East Village: local notes
East Village is about 1 mile north-west of Stratford, in Greater London. East Village is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
At a school such as Chobham Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in East Village, near St Eleutherius or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
This part of Greater London takes in E15, E20 and E9. That could mean a property on Angel Lane, Major Road and Forbes Lane or the roads around them.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Questions from East Village
Do older homes in East Village have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Village can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Stratford International station?
Yes, we cover East Village, including the streets around Stratford International station.
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 normally needed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you test before removing asbestos in East Village?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
