Asbestos removal near Plaistow
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor, including textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Plaistow, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Plaistow questions
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Plaistow from London?
Plaistow is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What we deal with in Plaistow
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- The documents you will receive
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
