Asbestos removal in Camden Town
In homes, in Camden Town as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with flue pipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about loft water tanks and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In Camden Town, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

FAQs for Camden Town
Could my house in Camden Town contain asbestos?
If your home in Camden Town was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Camden Town 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 I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
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.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

What else we do in Camden Town
Typical removal jobs in Camden Town
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Camden Town:

If you are on or near the A400 and B512, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
After we’ve finished in Camden Town
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
