Asbestos removal in Golders Green
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From loft water tanks and debris left from a previous job, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Golders Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Questions from Golders Green
Can you work in Golders Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near Cricklewood station?
Yes. Cricklewood station is about 1.2 miles south-west of Golders Green, and we cover both.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
