Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
About our asbestos removal in Snaresbrook
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and asbestos found during building work, we cover textured coatings, water tanks and floor tiles.
Removal jobs around Snaresbrook often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For businesses and landlords in Snaresbrook
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Snaresbrook is about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

FAQs for Snaresbrook
Do you work near Wood Street station?
Yes. Wood Street station is about 0.7 miles west of Snaresbrook, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Snaresbrook have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.

Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
