Asbestos removal near Thames View Estate

Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From old sheds and coal bunkers and Artex before plastering, we deal with cement roof sheets, floor tiles and flue pipes and more.

In places like Thames View Estate, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides

What we deal with in Thames View Estate

Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:

Floor tiles before a new floor
Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Artex before plastering
Garage roof sheets

For rentals close to Barking Riverside station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Choosing an asbestos contractor

What it might be made of

Water tanks and flues

A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.

Bitumen and felt

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

What happens next

Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Send photos of the material and the access
Book the replacement before removal
Tell us about any previous survey
Keep children and pets away on the day

Things not to do

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

DIY and asbestos

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
