Asbestos removal in Westbourne
Asbestos removal in Westbourne
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Westbourne falls into that category. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets and more.
In places like Westbourne, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roofs and whole garages
For rentals close to London Paddington station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Westbourne, 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.

Common questions in Westbourne
Can you work in Westbourne with London’s parking rules?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Westbourne have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you cover Westbourne?
Yes, Westbourne is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
