Asbestos removal for London Fields properties
Asbestos removal in London Fields covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are textured coatings, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and finds during refurbishment.
In towns and villages like London Fields, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

London Fields: your questions answered
Do you cover London Fields and the area around London Fields station?
Yes, we cover London Fields, including the streets around London Fields station.
Do older homes in London Fields have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in London Fields may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
