DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Harringay
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues

- Artex ceilings before renovation
Older buildings in Harringay, near St Paul's Harringay or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
