Asbestos Removal in Edgware

A single sample of the corrugated sheet, collected and UKAS-tested, is typically £50 to £80, and one sample is usually enough because the whole roof is the same material. If the result is positive and you want it taken away, a straightforward domestic garage roof removal generally runs from £380 to £800 depending on size, access down the side return and whether the sheets are already cracked. Asbestos cement is non-licensed work, so it does not need to be notified to the HSE, but it still has to be removed under CAR 2012 controls rather than smashed out.

The duty to manage in Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 applies to the commercial unit and the common parts of the building, not the interior of a single let flat, so most Broadway landlords need a management survey covering the shop, stairwell, plant areas and roof void. That is normally £200 to £300 for a small parade unit, and it gives you the register and management plan an enforcing officer will ask for. If you are stripping out the unit for a new tenant you need the more intrusive refurbishment and demolition survey instead, which costs more because floors and linings have to be opened up.

It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.

For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
