Asbestos removal in Holloway
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and loft water tanks, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In Holloway, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The category of work
- Access to the area
- Parking and access charges
- The survey scope
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
For managing agents and freeholders in Holloway, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex before plastering
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
At a school such as Grafton Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

Holloway: your questions answered
Do you work near Drayton Park station?
Yes. Drayton Park station is about 0.6 miles south-east of Holloway, and we cover both.
Do you work in Holloway despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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 asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
