Asbestos removal for Brent Cross properties

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Records for your files
- Work done to the regulations

FAQs for Brent Cross
Do you cover Brent Cross and the area around Brent Cross West station?
Yes. Brent Cross West station is about 0.7 miles south-west of Brent Cross, and we cover both.
Could my house in Brent Cross contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you cover Brent Cross?
Yes, we do: our area includes Brent Cross and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.

Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
