Asbestos removal near Headstone
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages, including cement soffits, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
Removal jobs around Headstone often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access to the area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Licensed or non-licensed
- What the material is and its state
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- A picture of the whole area
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Headstone were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
How it works
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there is no confusion. We plan outdoor jobs in Headstone to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Other services in Headstone
Headstone: your questions answered
Do you cover Headstone and the area around Headstone Lane station?
Yes. Headstone Lane station is close to the centre of Headstone, and we cover the whole area.
Can you work in Headstone with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we deal with in Headstone
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
If you let property near Headstone Lane station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
