How asbestos removal works in Elmers End
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos found during building work, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles and more.
In places like Elmers End, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Elmers End: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Elmers End homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Elmers End can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Elmers End with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
