Asbestos removal near Upper Holloway
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and Artex before plastering, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In Upper Holloway, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Upper Holloway were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Upper Holloway: your questions answered
Could my house in Upper Holloway contain asbestos?
Any home in Upper Holloway built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Upper Holloway with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Why people call us in Upper Holloway
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
For non-domestic buildings like St John's Upper Holloway CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
