Rush Green: Landlords near Romford station often time removal for when a property is empty. Older buildings in Rush Green, near St Augustine of Canterbury Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Duty holders and landlords in RM7
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in RM7 were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
After we have finished in RM7
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Common reasons for removal jobs in RM7
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
Common questions in RM7
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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 aren’t licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How much does asbestos removal cost in RM7?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you test before removing asbestos in RM7?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
