How asbestos removal works in Little Chelsea
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and old waste on site, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles and more.
In Little Chelsea, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Labels, if any
- The parking area
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
For a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
After we have finished in Little Chelsea
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Little Chelsea
Do older homes in Little Chelsea have asbestos?
Any home in Little Chelsea built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Little Chelsea despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Duty holders and landlords in Little Chelsea
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Little Chelsea
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For non-domestic buildings like Park Walk Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
