Asbestos removal near Somers Town
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence.

Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old flues and old cold water tanks.
In Somers Town, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Somers Town
Do you work near London Euston station?
Yes. London Euston station is close to the centre of Somers Town, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Somers Town contain asbestos?
Any home in Somers Town built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Somers Town?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Bitumen and felt
