About our asbestos removal in Puddle Dock
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Puddle Dock: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From textured coatings and outbuildings with cement roofs, we cover water tanks, cement roof sheets and flue pipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Puddle Dock, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Puddle Dock
Do you work near Upminster station?
Yes, we cover Puddle Dock and the area towards Upminster station, about 1.9 miles west.
Could my house in Puddle Dock contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
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 give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
