How asbestos removal works in Ponders End
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and materials found mid-project.
In areas like Ponders End, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Covering London and the South East
- Clear written quotes
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.

What else we do in Ponders End
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Ponders End: your questions answered
Do you work in Ponders End despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Ponders End and the area around Ponders End station?
Yes. Ponders End station is close to the centre of Ponders End, and we cover the whole area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ponders End, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
