The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Asbestos removal for New Southgate properties
Asbestos removal in New Southgate covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are Artex ceilings before renovation and materials found mid-project.
In London neighbourhoods like New Southgate, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Street parking nearby
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will recommend the right option.
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Questions from New Southgate
Do you cover New Southgate and the area around New Southgate station?
Yes, we cover New Southgate, including the streets around New Southgate station.
Can you work in New Southgate with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How much does asbestos removal cost in New Southgate?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

In a school like St Paul's CofE Primary School N11, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Older buildings in New Southgate, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we deal with in New Southgate
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
On busy roads like the A1003 and A1110, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor

We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. Late-December sunset in New Southgate is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
