Common questions in Northend
Do you cover Northend from London?
Northend is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Northend?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in Northend?
Yes, Northend is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
About our asbestos removal in Northend
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and asbestos garages.
In places like Northend, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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 the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
