About our asbestos removal in West Hendon
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In areas like West Hendon, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about asbestos removal in West Hendon
Could my house in West Hendon contain asbestos?
Any home in West Hendon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in West Hendon with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How much does asbestos removal cost in West Hendon?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Helpful guides
Common reasons for removal jobs in West Hendon
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos garages
- Artex before plastering
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Older buildings in West Hendon, near St Matthias the Apostle church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- What isn’t included
- The documents you will receive
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
