Asbestos removal for Redbridge properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about loft water tanks and Artex before plastering.
Removal jobs around Redbridge often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
After we’ve finished:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Access to the area
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Damaged areas

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
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.
For businesses and landlords in Redbridge
If you manage or own a block in Redbridge, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Redbridge questions
Do you work near Ilford station?
Yes, we cover Redbridge and the area towards Ilford station, about 1.4 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Redbridge homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Redbridge?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
