Asbestos removal near Lea Bridge
In homes, in Lea Bridge 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, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and outbuildings with cement roofs, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and floor tiles.
In London neighbourhoods like Lea Bridge, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A picture of the whole area

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After we have finished:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Lea Bridge questions
Is asbestos common in Lea Bridge homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Lea Bridge and the area around Clapton station?
Yes. Clapton station is about 0.5 miles west of Lea Bridge, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
