How asbestos removal works in Tower Hamlets
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. From loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits and more.
Homes in Tower Hamlets with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Duty holders and landlords in Tower Hamlets

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Questions from Tower Hamlets
Do older homes in Tower Hamlets have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Tower Hamlets from London?
We cover Tower Hamlets, about 65 miles from central London.
Do you cover Tower Hamlets?
We do: our area includes Tower Hamlets and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases 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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Why people call us in Tower Hamlets
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
On busy roads like the A256, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
What your quote should include
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- If the price includes VAT

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Share any survey or test results
- Send photos of the material and the access
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
