About our asbestos removal in Kingsland
In homes, in Kingsland 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. Common materials are cement roof sheets, flue pipes and water tanks, and people usually contact us about textured coatings and garage roofs and whole garages.
In towns and villages like Kingsland, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Keeping things safe:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Kingsland
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Loft water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Kingsland, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Common questions in Kingsland
Could my house in Kingsland contain asbestos?
If your home in Kingsland was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Kingsland and the area around Dalston Junction station?
Yes. Dalston Junction station is close to the centre of Kingsland, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Kingsland?
Yes. We cover Kingsland and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
