For businesses and landlords in Kensal Green
If your business premises in Kensal Green were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Kensal Green is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

Your questions about asbestos removal in Kensal Green
Is asbestos common in Kensal Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Kensal Green with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Kensal Green?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
The scope of asbestos removal
