Asbestos removal near Brook Green
Asbestos removal for Brook Green properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and debris left from a previous job, we cover water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
Removal jobs around Brook Green often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
FAQs for Brook Green
Do you work near Kensington Olympia station?
Yes. Kensington Olympia station is about 0.5 miles east of Brook Green, and we cover both.
Could my house in Brook Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Brook Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
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.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
