Asbestos removal near Hammersmith
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.

What we deal with in Hammersmith
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Earl's Court Free School Primary, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before booking anyone

Which option is right?

FAQs for Hammersmith
Do you cover Hammersmith and the area around Kensington Olympia station?
Yes. Kensington Olympia station is about 0.8 miles east of Hammersmith, and we cover both.
Do you work in Hammersmith despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
