Asbestos removal near Arnos Grove
Asbestos removal in Arnos Grove
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. From floor tiles before a new floor and finds during refurbishment, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Arnos Grove often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Arnos Grove
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

What we deal with in Arnos Grove
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Textured coatings
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For properties on main roads such as the A109 and A1004, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the job needs notifying

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

FAQs for Arnos Grove
Do you work near New Southgate station?
Yes. New Southgate station is about 0.6 miles west of Arnos Grove, and we cover both.
Do you work in Arnos Grove despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

Doing it yourself?
