Asbestos removal for Finsbury Park properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Finsbury Park, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and textured coatings.
In London neighbourhoods like Finsbury Park, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Finsbury Park
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
For properties on main roads such as the A1201, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Questions from Finsbury Park
Do you work near Finsbury Park station?
Yes, we cover Finsbury Park, including the streets around Finsbury Park station.
Can you work in Finsbury Park with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
