Asbestos removal near Harrow on the Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From finds during refurbishment and old flues, we cover floor tiles, cement roof sheets and water tanks.
In Harrow on the Hill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Helping us quote
What to photograph:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Street parking nearby
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Keeping things safe:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

What we deal with in Harrow on the Hill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
At a school such as St George’s Primary Catholic Voluntary Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Harrow on the Hill
Do you work near Sudbury Hill Harrow station?
Yes, we cover Harrow on the Hill and the area towards Sudbury Hill Harrow station, about 0.5 miles south.
Can you work in Harrow on the Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
