What we deal with in World's End
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in World's End, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
About our asbestos removal in World's End
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor.
Removal jobs around World's End often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
For businesses and landlords in World's End
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in World's End, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

World's End questions
Do you work in World's End despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in World's End homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
