Asbestos removal for Temple properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include textured coatings and old flues, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In places like Temple, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Duty holders and landlords in Temple
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Why people call us in Temple
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Temple:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
In a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone

- What category of work it is

- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Options to consider in Temple
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. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Temple contain asbestos?
Any home in Temple 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.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
