Asbestos removal for City of Westminster properties

You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include old waste on site and Artex before plastering, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.

In London neighbourhoods like City of Westminster, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for City of Westminster

Do you work in City of Westminster despite London parking restrictions?

We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.

Do you work near Bond Street station?

Yes. Bond Street station is close to the centre of City of Westminster, and we cover the whole area.

How can I get a price?

Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do you cover City of Westminster?

Yes, City of Westminster is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

What does removal cost?

It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.

Can asbestos go in my bin?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.

What it costs

When we quote, we look at:

  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • Licensed or non-licensed
  • Material and condition
  • The quantity or area

The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Sending photos

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • Street parking nearby
  • A rough size or measurement
  • Cracks or breaks
  • How we’d reach it

Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Where asbestos turns up

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

In older properties, we often see:

  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Old waste on site
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive

Older buildings in City of Westminster, near St Mark's or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

What to look for in a quote

  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • What isn’t included
  • What paperwork you get
  • Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Choosing an asbestos contractor

  • Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
  • Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
  • Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Helpful guides

After the job

Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Tell us about any previous survey
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them

Don’ts

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

  • Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
