Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos removal in Harrow Weald
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters.
In places like Harrow Weald, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Harrow Weald
Do you work in Harrow Weald despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Headstone Lane station?
Yes. Headstone Lane station is about 0.8 miles west of Harrow Weald, and we cover both.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Harrow Weald
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old cold water tanks
- Old flues
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as Salvatorian Roman Catholic College, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The documents you’ll receive

Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
