Asbestos help in St Johns
Duty holders and landlords in St Johns
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How asbestos removal works in St Johns
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and garage roof sheets.
In St Johns, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for St Johns
Do you cover St Johns and the area around St Johns station?
Yes, we cover St Johns, including the streets around St Johns station.
Could my house in St Johns contain asbestos?
If your home in St Johns was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in St Johns?
Yes. We cover St Johns and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
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 I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
