Asbestos removal in Puddledock
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
About our asbestos removal in Puddledock
In homes, in Puddledock as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and cement flues and gutters.
In areas like Puddledock, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Options to consider in Puddledock
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Puddledock
Could my house in Puddledock contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Puddledock can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Puddledock despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What if my house is newer?
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.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results

Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
