Asbestos removal in Haverstock
Asbestos removal in Haverstock
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include Artex before plastering and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In areas like Haverstock, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Haverstock, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Common questions in Haverstock
Could my house in Haverstock contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Haverstock may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Haverstock with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
