Palmers Green questions
Can you work in Palmers Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Palmers Green homes?
Any home in Palmers Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Palmers Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Choosing the right option
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
