Asbestos removal in Three Mills
Asbestos removal for Three Mills properties
Removal is not 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’s the case. Typical materials include textured coatings, water tanks and flue pipes, and people normally contact us about Artex before plastering and debris left from a previous job.
Removal jobs around Three Mills often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Why people call us in Three Mills
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Typical jobs in Three Mills include:
- Cement flues and gutters

- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Three Mills, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

For businesses and landlords in Three Mills
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Three Mills
Do you work near West Ham station?
Yes. West Ham station is about 0.5 miles east of Three Mills, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Three Mills have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Three Mills may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
