About our asbestos removal in Higham Hill

Higham Hill questions
Is asbestos common in Higham Hill homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Higham Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Northumberland Park (London) station?
Yes, we cover Higham Hill and the area towards Northumberland Park (London) station, about 0.8 miles west.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: 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?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you work in Higham Hill?
We do: our area includes Higham Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Higham Hill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
