Asbestos removal for Maida Vale properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include textured coatings and garage roof sheets, involving textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
Removal jobs around Maida Vale often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Maida Vale questions
Do older homes in Maida Vale have asbestos?
If your home in Maida Vale was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Maida Vale 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.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Maida Vale?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
After we have finished:
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
