Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with water tanks, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old flues and asbestos garages.
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site.

Where we work in HA8
Removal jobs across HA8 range from garage roofs in Stanmore, Burnt Oak and Edgware to barns and outbuildings in 2 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.
Burnt Oak: On busy roads like the A5100, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it. In older buildings across Burnt Oak, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. Late-December sunset in Burnt Oak is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Options to consider in HA8
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork.
What your quote should include
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- VAT, clearly stated
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in HA8, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Questions from HA8
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work in HA8?
Yes, we do: our area includes HA8 and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
