How asbestos removal works in Leytonstone
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and garage roofs and whole garages, including textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Leytonstone, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as George Tomlinson Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:

Questions from Leytonstone
Can you work in Leytonstone with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in Leytonstone have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Leytonstone can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
