Asbestos removal near Stratford
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and cement flues and gutters, involving flue pipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
Removal jobs around Stratford 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 recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Stratford
Do you cover Stratford and the area around Stratford (London) station?
Yes, we cover Stratford, including the streets around Stratford (London) station.
Do older homes in Stratford have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.

What else we do in Stratford
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Stratford
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older properties in Stratford, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Options to consider in Stratford
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
