Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Asbestos removal in Hackney Central
Found asbestos during building work in Hackney Central? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and garage roofs and whole garages, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.

Questions from Hackney Central
Is asbestos common in Hackney Central homes?
If your home in Hackney Central was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Hackney Central despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Typical removal jobs in Hackney Central
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In older properties in Hackney Central, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
