Asbestos removal near Plaistow Green

Helpful guides
Questions from Plaistow Green
Is asbestos common in Plaistow Green homes?
Any home in Plaistow Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Plaistow Green and the area around Ascot station?
Yes, we cover Plaistow Green and the area towards Ascot station, about 2.1 miles south.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Why people call us in Plaistow Green

- Garage roof sheets
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
Older buildings in Plaistow Green, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
