Your questions about asbestos removal in South Chingford
Can you work in South Chingford with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in South Chingford have asbestos?
Any home in South Chingford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover South Chingford?
We do: our area includes South Chingford and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Helpful guides
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.

- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How we price asbestos removal
Every quote reflects:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
