Edgware Bury questions
Do you work in Edgware Bury 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.
Is asbestos common in Edgware Bury homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For businesses and landlords in Edgware Bury
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

These are some of the things we deal with in Edgware Bury:
- Materials found mid-project
