Asbestos removal for Blendon
Typical removal jobs in Blendon
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Blackfen School for Girls, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Asbestos removal in Blendon
Asbestos removal in Blendon covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and loft water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Blendon, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Blendon: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Blendon homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Blendon with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Blendon must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
