About asbestos removal in IG6
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and asbestos garages.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area.

Barkingside: In older buildings across Barkingside, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

We plan outdoor jobs in Barkingside to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you’ll receive
For businesses and landlords in IG6
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in IG6, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
- How we’d reach it
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Questions from IG6
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
