Asbestos Removal in Romford
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Romford, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across Greater London.
Asbestos in Romford
Romford is a busy market town and retail hub in the London Borough of Havering, ringed by vast interwar estates such as Gidea Park and Harold Hill, one of the largest council estates ever built. Those 1930s suburbs and post-war estates left widespread artex, asbestos cement garages and soffits, and asbestos insulating board in service ducts and cupboards.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Romford properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Romford: FAQs
What asbestos is common in Harold Hill and Romford estate homes?
Post-war Havering estates frequently used asbestos insulating board to ceilings and ducts, asbestos cement to garages and soffits, and textured coatings throughout. These should be sampled before any drilling or removal, which we carry out across the RM postcodes.
Can you remove an asbestos garage roof in Romford?
Yes — corrugated cement garage roofs are very common across Romford's interwar estates, and removal is usually non-licensed work from around £350 to £700, with all sheets taken to a licensed disposal site and a waste transfer note provided.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
