Asbestos removal near The Hale
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. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and floor tiles before a new floor, including textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around The Hale often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in The Hale
Do you work in The Hale despite London parking restrictions?
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 cover The Hale and the area around Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, we cover The Hale and the area towards Mill Hill Broadway station, about 0.7 miles south-east.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
