About our asbestos removal in Vale of Health
In homes, in Vale of Health as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s old waste on site and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Removal jobs around Vale of Health often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Vale of Health
Do you work near Hampstead Heath station?
Yes. Hampstead Heath station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Vale of Health, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Vale of Health have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Vale of Health can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
For businesses and landlords in Vale of Health
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
