About our asbestos removal in Wood Green
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Wood Green: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex before plastering, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Wood Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Should you do 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. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate

Common questions in Wood Green
Do you work near Alexandra Palace station?
Yes. Alexandra Palace station is about 0.5 miles west of Wood Green, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Wood Green homes?
Any home in Wood Green 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 asbestos go in my bin?
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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
