How asbestos removal works in Connaught Village
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Connaught Village. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Connaught Village, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Connaught Village: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Connaught Village homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Connaught Village can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near London Paddington station?
Yes. London Paddington station is about 0.5 miles west of Connaught Village, and we cover both.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Connaught Village?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
