Asbestos removal for Holloway Down properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old cold water tanks, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Holloway Down, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

The scope of asbestos removal
Before you book, note that:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Holloway Down
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Panels and boards

- Flue pipes

- Water tanks

For businesses and landlords in Holloway Down
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Holloway Down
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
In older properties in Holloway Down, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

Questions from Holloway Down
Is asbestos common in Holloway Down homes?
If your home in Holloway Down was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Holloway Down and the area around Maryland station?
Yes. Maryland station is about 0.6 miles south of Holloway Down, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
