Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hornchurch Marshes
Can you work in Hornchurch Marshes with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Could my house in Hornchurch Marshes contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
The process
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Hornchurch Marshes by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Where asbestos turns up
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 are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Hornchurch Marshes, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
