Asbestos removal in Upper Edmonton
Asbestos removal for Upper Edmonton properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old waste on site, including cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks.
In Upper Edmonton, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Upper Edmonton by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Upper Edmonton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Upper Edmonton homes?
If your home in Upper Edmonton 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.
Can you work in Upper Edmonton with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
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.
After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
For businesses and landlords in Upper Edmonton
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Why people call us in Upper Edmonton
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
For non-domestic buildings like St John and St James CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
