How asbestos removal works in East Barnet
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and broken sheets in gardens, involving water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In areas like East Barnet, 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, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in East Barnet
Do older homes in East Barnet have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in East Barnet may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oakleigh Park station?
Yes, we cover East Barnet and the area towards Oakleigh Park station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
