Northwick Park properties and asbestos removal
Northwick Park is about 1 mile south-west of Kenton, in Greater London. Northwick Park is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We cover 764 places in Greater London. Our nearest city page is London, about 11 miles away.
On busy roads like the A404, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. For non-domestic buildings like Harrow High School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
We handle removal jobs in every part of the HA1, HA3 and HA0 postcode area and the streets around it. Your property could be on Lyon Road, Manor Road and Gayton Road or the roads around them. Main roads around Northwick Park include the A404, so mention parking if the property is on one. For properties just outside Northwick Park, we cover Greenhill (1 mile north-west), Harrow on the Hill (1 mile south-west), South Kenton (1 mile east), Kenton (1 mile north-east) and Harrow (1 mile west). We also cover nearby towns such as London (11 miles south-east), City of Westminster (9 miles south-east), Marylebone (9 miles south-east), Kensington (7 miles south-east), St Pancras (10 miles east) and Shoreditch (11 miles east).
As a London location, Northwick Park is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.
A little further out are Northwick Park Hospital (less than half a mile north-east) and Kodak Museum (1.5 miles north-west). Within reach you will find Masons Field and Northala Fields.

Asbestos removal for Northwick Park properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and loft water tanks, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In places like Northwick Park, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Soffits (cement)
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A photo of the whole area
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. Late-December sunset in Northwick Park is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Helpful guides
Northwick Park questions
Do you work in Northwick Park 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.
Do you work near Kenton station?
Yes, we cover Northwick Park and the area towards Kenton station, about 0.6 miles north-east.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.

What else we do in Northwick Park
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
