About asbestos removal in E2
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. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and textured coatings.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area.

Where we work in E2
Across E2, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Bethnal Green and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Bethnal Green: In a school like Lawdale Junior School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Older buildings in Bethnal Green, near St Peter's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan. We plan outdoor jobs in Bethnal Green to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found.

Duty holders and landlords in E2
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in E2 were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Why people call us in E2
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

- Cement water tanks in lofts

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Questions from E2
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
