About our asbestos removal in Bowes Park
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In areas like Bowes Park, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Landlords near Alexandra Palace station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Common questions in Bowes Park
Do you work in Bowes Park despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Bowes Park homes?
Any home in Bowes Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Bowes Park?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
