Asbestos removal near Cricklewood
How asbestos removal works in Cricklewood
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s cement water tanks in lofts and old flues, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In places like Cricklewood, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Cricklewood: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Cricklewood homes?
If your home in Cricklewood was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Cricklewood station?
Yes. Cricklewood station is close to the centre of Cricklewood, and we cover the whole area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Cricklewood?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What else we do in Cricklewood
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Why people call us in Cricklewood
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
- Cement flues and gutters
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as Anson Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Comparing quotes

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
For managing agents and freeholders in Cricklewood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
