Asbestos removal for Primrose Hill
About our asbestos removal in Primrose Hill
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s outbuildings with cement roofs and old waste on site, we cover textured coatings, cement soffits and water tanks.
In Primrose Hill, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Primrose Hill: your questions answered
Could my house in Primrose Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Primrose Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Primrose Hill with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Primrose Hill?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Options to consider in Primrose Hill
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Finds during refurbishment
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
If you let property near Kentish Town West station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
