How asbestos removal works in Peaks Hill
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. From finds during refurbishment and Artex before plastering, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Peaks Hill often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Typical jobs in Peaks Hill include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Peaks Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

Common questions in Peaks Hill
Do older homes in Peaks Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Peaks Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Peaks Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Peaks Hill?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. It helps if we can park nearby. We plan outdoor jobs in Peaks Hill to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
