- Debris left from a previous job

Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from Turnpike Lane
Could my house in Turnpike Lane contain asbestos?
If your home in Turnpike Lane was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Turnpike Lane despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
The scope of asbestos removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
