How asbestos removal works in HA1
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks, and typical jobs are outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roof sheets.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work.

Greenhill: In older buildings across Greenhill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. If you let property near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. Outdoor removal in Greenhill is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Why people call us in HA1
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
Your options compared
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is not included
- The method and controls

HA1: your questions answered
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
