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.

Asbestos Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
