Asbestos removal for Hendon properties
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Common materials are water tanks, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about textured coatings and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In places like Hendon, 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.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Once we are done:

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

FAQs for Hendon
Do older homes in Hendon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Hendon with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
Duty holders and landlords in Hendon
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your options compared
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
