How asbestos removal works in Sands End
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and garage roofs and whole garages, we cover flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Sands End, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Why people call us in Sands End
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Sands End, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Comparing quotes
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What category of work it is
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work done to the regulations
- Identify first, remove only when needed

For landlords, agents and businesses

Common questions in Sands End
Do you cover Sands End and the area around Imperial Wharf station?
Yes. Imperial Wharf station is close to the centre of Sands End, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Sands End contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
