Asbestos removal near Mayfair
Asbestos removal in Mayfair
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and garage roofs and whole garages, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks.
In towns and villages like Mayfair, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Why people call us in Mayfair
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Asbestos found during building work
If you’re on or near the A4201 and A4202, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What isn’t included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- Travel and parking
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park
- Labels, if any
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Mayfair questions
Can you work in Mayfair with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in Mayfair contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Mayfair, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mayfair, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What you get

How we work
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. In winter, the light goes in Mayfair by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
