Asbestos removal near Hampstead Garden Suburb

Asbestos removal in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Hampstead Garden Suburb falls into that category. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and textured coatings, we deal with floor tiles, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.

In places like Hampstead Garden Suburb, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Could my house in Hampstead Garden Suburb contain asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Brent Cross West station?

Yes, we cover Hampstead Garden Suburb and the area towards Brent Cross West station, about 2.1 miles south-west.

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. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Do you need to see it before quoting?

Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

How do I get a quote?

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

After we’ve finished in Hampstead Garden Suburb

After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.

Some practical advice:

  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • File the consignment note
  • Send photos of the material and the access

What to avoid

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

The process

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Hampstead Garden Suburb is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

  1. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
  3. We quote in writing, including the waste
  4. We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
  5. We clean the area and send the consignment note

Getting ready

  • Dig out previous surveys
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Read the checklist

Doing it yourself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Which option is right?

HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Why choose us

  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Clear advice on your options
  • Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
