Asbestos removal in Lower Holloway
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages.
In London neighbourhoods like Lower Holloway, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Lower Holloway, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old waste on site
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For non-domestic buildings like Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What paperwork you get
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- 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

Common questions in Lower Holloway
Could my house in Lower Holloway contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station?
Yes, we cover Lower Holloway and the area towards Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station, about 0.5 miles south.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
