Asbestos removal for Wallend properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From Artex before plastering and old waste on site, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
Removal jobs around Wallend often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Wallend
Do you work in Wallend despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Wallend homes?
If your home in Wallend was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Typical removal jobs in Wallend
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Wallend:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Wallend, near St John the Baptist's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Choosing the right option
