About our asbestos removal in Southgate
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about asbestos garages and debris left from a previous job.
In places like Southgate, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Southgate
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
These come up again and again:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Cement flues and gutters
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older buildings across Southgate, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.

FAQs for Southgate
Could my house in Southgate contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Southgate may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Southgate and the area around New Southgate station?
Yes, we cover Southgate and the area towards New Southgate station, about 1 mile south-west.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you cover Southgate?
We do: our area includes Southgate and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
For businesses and landlords in Southgate
If your business premises in Southgate were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
