About our asbestos removal in Woodside Park
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or 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 garage roofs and whole garages and materials found mid-project, we cover flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
Removal jobs around Woodside Park often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Removing asbestos around Woodside Park
Woodside Park is about 1 mile north of Finchley, in Greater London. Woodside Park has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
In a school like Northside Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Woodside Park, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
We carry out removal jobs all over N12, N3 and N20 and the streets around it. Whether your property is on High Road, Lodge Lane and Percy Road or anywhere nearby, we can help. We also carry out removal jobs in North Finchley (1 mile east), Oakleigh Park (1 mile north-east), Whetstone (1 mile north-east), Church End (1 mile south) and Finchley (1 mile south).

Which option is right?
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Flue pipes
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Woodside Park must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Woodside Park, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Does someone need to be there?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
