Asbestos removal in Temple Bar
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and old flues, involving textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Temple Bar, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one

Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Questions from Temple Bar
Do you cover Temple Bar and the area around City Thameslink station?
Yes, we cover Temple Bar, including the streets around City Thameslink station.
Do older homes in Temple Bar 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.
Do you work in Temple Bar?
Yes. We cover Temple Bar and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
