Asbestos removal near St Ann's
Asbestos removal in St Ann's
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. From old flues and asbestos garages, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In areas like St Ann's, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Across London and the South East

Common questions in St Ann's
Is asbestos common in St Ann's homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in St Ann's can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Seven Sisters station?
Yes. Seven Sisters station is close to the centre of St Ann's, and we cover the whole area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
