Asbestos removal for Homerton properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are textured coatings and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Removal jobs around Homerton often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Homerton
Do you work in Homerton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Homerton have asbestos?
If your home in Homerton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Typical removal jobs in Homerton
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
These are some of the things we deal with in Homerton:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Homerton, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What paperwork you get
- What isn’t included
Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Homerton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Homerton is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
