Hanger Hill questions
Do you work in Hanger Hill despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Hanger Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hanger Hill can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.

For businesses and landlords in Hanger Hill

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- A result tells you what the material is, not how to remove it
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- We cannot confirm asbestos from a photo
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Tell us if there’s adhesive under tiles
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
