Asbestos removal for Earl's Court
How asbestos removal works in Earl's Court
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about finds during refurbishment and debris left from a previous job.
In London neighbourhoods like Earl's Court, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before booking:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Earl's Court

People usually contact us about one of these:

Afterwards
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Earl's Court
Do older homes in Earl's Court have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near West Brompton station?
Yes. West Brompton station is close to the centre of Earl's Court, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
