About our asbestos removal in Oakthorpe Park
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and cement water tanks in lofts, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
In London neighbourhoods like Oakthorpe Park, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Oakthorpe Park, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

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. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Oakthorpe Park: your questions answered
Do you work near Palmers Green station?
Yes. Palmers Green station is close to the centre of Oakthorpe Park, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Oakthorpe Park despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
