Specialist removal of asbestos cement water tanks across London — typically in lofts and airing cupboards of homes built between the 1950s and 1980s. Safely drained, removed and disposed of.
Asbestos cement water tanks were the standard cold-water storage tank in UK homes built between roughly the 1950s and 1980s. Most are still sitting in lofts and airing cupboards today — usually grey, square or rectangular, with a fibrous-looking cement surface.
Like asbestos cement roofing, the material is lower-risk when intact: the fibres are bound in cement. But the tanks weather over time, and once they crack, leak or are disturbed during plumbing works, fibres are released.
We remove asbestos water tanks safely: the tank is drained, isolated, double-bagged and lowered out of the loft for transport to an authorised facility. Most jobs are completed in a single visit of 2–4 hours.
Phone or written quote, free of charge. For larger jobs we attend on-site. Method statement and risk assessment issued.
Where notifiable, we file the 14-day HSE notification on your behalf. Site sheeted, enclosure built where required.
Wet-strip techniques, full PPE/RPE, negative-pressure units. Asbestos double-bagged in UN-approved packaging.
Transported to authorised facility. Hazardous-waste consignment note & air-clearance certificate provided.
Most quotes can be given over the phone, free of charge, in under ten minutes. For larger jobs we attend on-site, free of charge, and provide a written fixed-price quotation with a method statement.

If your home was built between the 1950s and 1980s and the tank is grey, square or rectangular with a slightly fibrous cement appearance, there's a good chance it's asbestos cement. Modern plastic tanks (usually black or blue) are not asbestos. If you're not sure, we can take a sample and test it for around £75 + VAT.
A typical domestic asbestos water tank removal in London is in the region of £350–£550 + VAT, depending on tank size, location in the loft, and access. We give free fixed-price quotes — most can be given over the phone.
We isolate the tank before removal, but mains water remains available throughout. If you need a replacement tank fitted, we can quote that as part of the same job.
