How asbestos removal works in Hadley Wood
In homes, in Hadley Wood as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and debris left from a previous job, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits and more.
In Hadley Wood, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

FAQs for Hadley Wood
Do older homes in Hadley Wood have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hadley Wood station?
Yes. Hadley Wood station is about 0.5 miles north of Hadley Wood, and we cover both.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After we’ve finished:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hadley Wood
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Hadley Wood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- The method and controls
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- VAT, clearly stated
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
