About our asbestos removal in Upton Park
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
In places like Upton Park, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Upton Park questions
Is asbestos common in Upton Park homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upton Park may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Upton Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.

Typical removal jobs in Upton Park
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Upton Park, near St Martin's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
Our quotes take into account:
- How easy it is to reach
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
For a quick quote, include:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
