Need asbestos removal in North Finchley?
North Finchley: your questions answered
Do you work near New Southgate station?
Yes. New Southgate station is about 1.4 miles east of North Finchley, and we cover both.
Can you work in North Finchley with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
About our asbestos removal in North Finchley
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s asbestos garages and old cold water tanks, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and flue pipes and more.
In London neighbourhoods like North Finchley, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Options to consider in North Finchley
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
