DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
- What the material is and its state
- The number of samples or the size of the building
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely

FAQs for Tufnell Park
Do you work near Upper Holloway station?
Yes. Upper Holloway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Tufnell Park, and we cover both.
Can you work in Tufnell Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
