Afterwards

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

  • Photos of the material and the route in help
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone

What to avoid

Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

About our asbestos removal in Burnt Oak

We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Burnt Oak: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and cement water tanks in lofts.

In areas like Burnt Oak, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Prices and what affects them

The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

  • Disposal costs
  • The category of work
  • What the material is and its state
  • Access to the area

Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Burnt Oak questions

Do you work in Burnt Oak despite London parking restrictions?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.

Do you cover Burnt Oak and the area around Mill Hill Broadway station?

Yes. Mill Hill Broadway station is about 0.5 miles north-east of Burnt Oak, and we cover both.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Do I need to move out?

It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Does asbestos always have to come out?

Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

Do you work in Burnt Oak?

We do: our area includes Burnt Oak and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

Options to consider in Burnt Oak

Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

What it might be made of

Textured coatings

Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

Water tanks and flues

Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.

Where asbestos turns up

Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.

These come up again and again:

  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Asbestos found during building work
  • Artex before plastering
  • Old flues

For properties on main roads such as the A5100, we plan parking and loading in advance.

Before booking anyone

  • The documents you will receive
  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
  • If the price includes VAT

Should you do it yourself?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

More about this service

How it works

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. Late-December sunset in Burnt Oak is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
  3. A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
  4. We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
  5. Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

How to prepare

  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Keep away from the material in the meantime
  • Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
  • Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
