Asbestos removal for North Kensington properties
Asbestos removal in North Kensington covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. People often contact us about old flues and asbestos found during building work, including textured coatings, flue pipes and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like North Kensington, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. 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.
Typical removal jobs in North Kensington
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.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement flues and gutters
- Artex before plastering
In older properties in North Kensington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

FAQs for North Kensington
Can you work in North Kensington with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Could my house in North Kensington contain asbestos?
Any home in North Kensington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you cover North Kensington?
Yes. We cover North Kensington and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
For businesses and landlords in North Kensington
If your business premises in North Kensington were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
