About asbestos removal in N13
In homes, in N13 as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks, and people normally contact us about old cold water tanks and cement flues and gutters.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Removing asbestos in N13
From Edmonton, Palmers Green and Southgate to small villages, N13 has every kind of removal job. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.
Palmers Green: For properties on main roads such as the A105 and A1004, we plan parking and loading in advance. For non-domestic buildings like St Anne's Catholic High School for Girls, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Late-December sunset in Palmers Green is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
What we do and do not cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
Why people call us in N13
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in N13:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Debris left from a previous job
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Questions from N13
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How much does asbestos removal cost in N13?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
