Asbestos removal for Chalk Farm
Asbestos removal for Chalk Farm properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Chalk Farm: 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. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving flue pipes, water tanks and cement soffits.
In places like Chalk Farm, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Chalk Farm
Do you work near Kentish Town West station?
Yes. Kentish Town West station is close to the centre of Chalk Farm, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Chalk Farm contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chalk Farm can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chalk Farm?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
