Asbestos removal for Edgware
Edgware questions
Do you work in Edgware despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Do older homes in Edgware have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Edgware may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
About our asbestos removal in Edgware
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. From outbuildings with cement roofs and asbestos garages, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In areas like Edgware, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Edgware must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Edgware
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Typical jobs in Edgware include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Edgware, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Any exclusions
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
