Maze Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover Maze Hill and the area around Maze Hill station?
Yes. Maze Hill station is close to the centre of Maze Hill, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Maze Hill have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you cover Maze Hill?
Yes, we do: our area includes Maze Hill and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Asbestos removal near Maze Hill
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are textured coatings, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In London neighbourhoods like Maze Hill, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Step by step

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Clear written quotes
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

What we deal with in Maze Hill
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like John Roan School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include

- Which areas and materials are covered
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
