Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Upminster Bridge were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Asbestos removal near Upminster Bridge
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and broken sheets in gardens, including floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Upminster Bridge, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Upminster Bridge questions
Do you work near Upminster station?
Yes, we cover Upminster Bridge and the area towards Upminster station, about 0.5 miles east.
Do you work in Upminster Bridge despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
