After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with textured coatings, water tanks and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about old cold water tanks and finds during refurbishment.
In areas like Walthamstow Village, 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.

FAQs for Walthamstow Village
Do you cover Walthamstow Village and the area around Walthamstow Central station?
Yes. Walthamstow Central station is close to the centre of Walthamstow Village, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Walthamstow Village despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Walthamstow Village must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
