Asbestos removal for Sewardstone
Asbestos removal near Sewardstone
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings.
In Sewardstone, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why choose us
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Clear advice on your options
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results
What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Sewardstone
Could my house in Sewardstone contain asbestos?
If your home in Sewardstone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Sewardstone with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. 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 in Sewardstone?
Yes, Sewardstone is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
What we deal with in Sewardstone
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Asbestos found during building work
For rentals close to Enfield Lock station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- The method and controls
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
