Asbestos removal near Kensal Town
Asbestos removal in Kensal Town covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. People often contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Kensal Town, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Nearby places to Kensal Town
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
After we have finished:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Kensal Town
Do you work near Queens Park (London) station?
Yes. Queens Park (London) station is about 0.7 miles north of Kensal Town, and we cover both.
Do you work in Kensal Town despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In winter, the light goes in Kensal Town by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully

Getting ready

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Kensal Town, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
