Asbestos removal for Waltham Forest properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Waltham Forest, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Waltham Forest
- Clear written quotes
- No removal until we know what it is

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What affects the price in Waltham Forest
Our quotes take into account:
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed

Photos often save us a visit:
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Waltham Forest, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Common questions in Waltham Forest
Do you work near Chingford station?
Yes, we cover Waltham Forest and the area towards Chingford station, about 0.6 miles west.
Do older homes in Waltham Forest have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Waltham Forest can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
