Asbestos removal in Palmers Green
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. People often contact us about old waste on site and old flues, including water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In Palmers Green, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Questions from Palmers Green
Is asbestos common in Palmers Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Palmers Green and the area around Palmers Green station?
Yes, we cover Palmers Green, including the streets around Palmers Green station.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- Damaged areas
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
