How asbestos removal works in Redbridge
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roof sheets, we deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Redbridge, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Redbridge by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Send us the postcode and photos
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Redbridge, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with

- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes

Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Redbridge questions
Do you cover Redbridge from London?
Redbridge is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Redbridge homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Redbridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Typical removal jobs in Redbridge
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Cement flues and gutters
If you let property near Oxford station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
