Harrow on the Hill: your questions answered
Do you work near Sudbury Hill Harrow station?
Yes. Sudbury Hill Harrow station is about 0.5 miles south of Harrow on the Hill, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Harrow on the Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Harrow on the Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

When can you start?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
