How asbestos removal works in N14
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across N14: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement water tanks in lofts, including water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- 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
Cost
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

N14: removal jobs of every size
Across N14, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Southgate, New Southgate and Arnos Grove and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Southgate: At a school such as Ashmole Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. In older properties in Southgate, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. Late-December sunset in Southgate is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Weighing up your options
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
After we have finished in N14
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
Questions from N14
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
