Asbestos removal near Hoxton
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover floor tiles, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes and more.
In places like Hoxton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- Licensed or non-licensed
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

After we’ve finished in Hoxton
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Shoreditch Park Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Common questions in Hoxton
Is asbestos common in Hoxton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Hoxton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
