About our asbestos removal in Muswell Hill
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages.
In areas like Muswell Hill, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
After we’ve finished in Muswell Hill
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
- Across London and the South East
What we deal with in Muswell Hill
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Textured coatings
- Garage roof sheets
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Muswell Hill, near O'Neill's pub or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Do you work near Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. Alexandra Palace station is about 1.1 miles north-east of Muswell Hill, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Muswell Hill have asbestos?
If your home in Muswell Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.

HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
