How asbestos removal works in Edmonton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about broken sheets in gardens and old flues, including cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In London neighbourhoods like Edmonton, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After we’ve finished:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Share any survey or test results
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
What we deal with in Edmonton
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In a school like Brettenham Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Edmonton
Do you work in Edmonton 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 Edmonton homes?
If your home in Edmonton 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 need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
