Asbestos removal near Leyton
Asbestos removal in Leyton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about old flues and old waste on site, including cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In Leyton, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Leyton: your questions answered
Do older homes in Leyton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Leyton may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Leyton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in Leyton?
We do: Leyton is within the area we cover in Greater London. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- Access to the area
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Where asbestos turns up

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex before plastering
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roof sheets
Landlords near Leyton Midland Road station often time removal for when a property is empty.
