Asbestos removal in Highams Park
Every removal job in Highams Park is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and outbuildings with cement roofs, including cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks.
In places like Highams Park, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Highams Park
Is asbestos common in Highams Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Highams Park and the area around Highams Park station?
Yes, we cover Highams Park and the area towards Highams Park station, about 0.7 miles east.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- 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, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
