Where asbestos turns up

Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
At a school such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Asbestos removal in Paddington Green
If your builder has found suspect material in Paddington Green, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving flue pipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
Removal jobs around Paddington Green often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Paddington Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we will recommend the right option.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Paddington Green questions
Can you work in Paddington Green with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Paddington Green and the area around London Paddington station?
Yes, we cover Paddington Green, including the streets around London Paddington station.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
