Rayners Lane questions
Can you work in Rayners Lane 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.
Do you cover Rayners Lane and the area around Northolt Park station?
Yes. Northolt Park station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Rayners Lane, and we cover both.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How asbestos removal works in Rayners Lane
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. People often contact us about sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and debris left from a previous job, involving flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Rayners Lane, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Which option is right?
