Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
About our asbestos removal in Enfield
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, floor tiles and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and Artex before plastering.
In London neighbourhoods like Enfield, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Enfield: your questions answered
Do you work in Enfield despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do older homes in Enfield have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Enfield can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Typical removal jobs in Enfield
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Enfield, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The documents you’ll receive
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Enfield, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Enfield to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know where we can park
- Dig out previous surveys

Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
