About asbestos removal in E11
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. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and materials found mid-project, including flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area.

- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Typical removal jobs in E11
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex before plastering
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
FAQs for E11
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
