Asbestos removal for Tufnell Park properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Tufnell Park: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and textured coatings, and typical jobs are textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor.
Removal jobs around Tufnell Park often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Tufnell Park
Can you work in Tufnell Park with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos common in Tufnell Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Tufnell Park can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Tufnell Park?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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 usually are not licensed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What happens next
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
