Asbestos removal near Hampstead Norreys
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
About our asbestos removal in Hampstead Norreys
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters.
In a village like Hampstead Norreys, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Hampstead Norreys were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hampstead Norreys, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
- Debris left from a previous job
Older buildings in Hampstead Norreys, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt

Common questions in Hampstead Norreys
Could my house in Hampstead Norreys contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hampstead Norreys can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Hampstead Norreys?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
