Asbestos removal in Paddington
Asbestos removal near Paddington
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In places like Paddington, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Paddington
Do you work in Paddington despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near London Paddington station?
Yes. London Paddington station is close to the centre of Paddington, and we cover the whole area.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- A photo of the whole area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Why people call us in Paddington
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.

- Asbestos found during building work
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
