How asbestos removal works in Haggerston
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and textured coatings, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In Haggerston, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
The scope of asbestos removal
Before booking, note that:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Responsibilities for owners

Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
