Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Covering London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Typical removal jobs in Woodford Bridge
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Woodford Bridge:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Woodford Bridge, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Woodford Bridge
Do older homes in Woodford Bridge have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Woodford Bridge with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. In winter, the light goes in Woodford Bridge by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
