Asbestos Removal in Mill Hill
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Mill Hill, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across North London.
Asbestos in Mill Hill
Mill Hill is one of Barnet's lowest-density suburbs, with large detached and substantial semi-detached houses on generous plots from the 1920s through the 1960s, plus older village property along The Ridgeway. The plots are what shape the asbestos picture: detached garages, workshops, greenhouses, stables and garden stores with corrugated asbestos cement roofs and wall sheets are widespread, and many are now brittle after sixty years of weathering. Inside, larger houses of that era often have AIB behind boilers and around airing cupboards, asbestos cement flues and bitumen-backed floor tiles in utility rooms. Redevelopment and rebuild schemes here almost always need a refurbishment and demolition survey.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Mill Hill properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Mill Hill: FAQs
I have an old asbestos garage and a workshop roof to clear in Mill Hill — how is that priced?
Asbestos cement roofs are priced by area, access and condition rather than per building, so a standard single garage roof usually falls between £380 and £800 and a second outbuilding on the same visit costs less than it would alone. Getting both done in one mobilisation is the cheapest route because you pay once for setup, waste consignment and the licensed tip. Bring us the sizes and a photo and we can price it without a site visit in most cases.
We are demolishing a 1960s house on The Ridgeway — what survey is required?
A refurbishment and demolition survey is required before demolition, and it is fully intrusive: floors, linings, ceilings and the roof structure are opened up so nothing is left unidentified. It costs considerably more than the £200 to £300 typical of a management survey because of the destructive access and the number of samples. The report then feeds the demolition contractor's plan of work, and any licensed items such as AIB or sprayed coating must be stripped by a licensed contractor under HSE notification first.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
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.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
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.
