Asbestos removal in Tottenham Green: local notes
Tottenham Green is about 2 miles west of Walthamstow, in Greater London. Tottenham Green has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Tottenham Green is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work. Our area stretches from Tottenham Green to London (about 6 miles away).
For rentals close to Seven Sisters station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. In older properties in Tottenham Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Anywhere in N15, N17 and N16, asbestos removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Ida Road, High Road and Hale Road or a nearby road, the process is the same.

Asbestos removal for Tottenham Green properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s debris left from a previous job and old cold water tanks, we cover textured coatings, cement soffits and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Tottenham Green often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Typical removal jobs in Tottenham Green
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Typical jobs in Tottenham Green include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In a school like Earlsmead Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Comparing quotes
- VAT, clearly stated
- What paperwork you get
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
- What the material is and its state
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Helpful photos:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance

Common questions in Tottenham Green
Can you work in Tottenham Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Tottenham Green and the area around Seven Sisters station?
Yes, we cover Tottenham Green, including the streets around Seven Sisters station.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in Tottenham Green
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tottenham Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
