About asbestos removal in E98
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. We often deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and old cold water tanks.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Where we work in E98
Across E98, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in East End of London and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
East End of London: In a school like St Mary and St Michael Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

In winter, the light goes in East End of London by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
The scope of asbestos removal
Before booking, note that:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about any previous survey
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement flues and gutters
