Asbestos removal in Woodford

Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical materials include floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and loft water tanks.

Removal jobs around Woodford often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Woodford

Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

Garage roof sheets
Materials found mid-project
Artex before plastering
Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos

On busy roads like the A113 and A121, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Woodford

Do older homes in Woodford have asbestos?

Any home in Woodford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you work in Woodford despite London parking restrictions?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.

How quickly can you come out?

We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Can asbestos be left in place?

In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.

Is asbestos dangerous?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

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.

What happens next

If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.

Once we’re done:

Share any survey or test results
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Let neighbours know if work is near them
Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

What to avoid

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Can I do it myself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

What’s included, and what isn’t

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Service details

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Woodford, 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.
