About our asbestos removal in Little Venice
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. From old cold water tanks and debris left from a previous job, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
Removal jobs around Little Venice often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Little Venice
Do you work in Little Venice despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Little Venice homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Little Venice can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
After we’ve finished in Little Venice
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Asbestos cement

Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Little Venice, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Why people call us in Little Venice
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Little Venice:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Little Venice, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
