How asbestos removal works in Enfield Lock
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. From finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In places like Enfield Lock, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Enfield Lock
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

After we’ve finished in Enfield Lock
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
A few practical points:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
