FAQs for Picketts Lock
Can you work in Picketts Lock with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Picketts Lock and the area around Ponders End station?
Yes. Ponders End station is about 1.2 miles north of Picketts Lock, and we cover both.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Your options compared
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
