About our asbestos removal in Pimlico
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex ceilings before renovation.
In Pimlico, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Pimlico
Can you work in Pimlico with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Pimlico contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Pimlico can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Pimlico?
Yes, Pimlico is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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.

How we work
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In winter, the light goes in Pimlico by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Pimlico, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
The scope of asbestos removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Landlords near London Victoria station often time removal for when a property is empty.
