How asbestos removal works in Hornchurch
In homes, in Hornchurch as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and old waste on site, we cover cement roof sheets, floor tiles and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around Hornchurch often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
If you’re on or near the A125, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.

What else we do in Hornchurch
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Hornchurch were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
