How asbestos removal works in Westbourne Green
If your builder has found suspect material in Westbourne Green, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Removal jobs around Westbourne Green often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Westbourne Green
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old flues
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
For rentals close to London Paddington station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

FAQs for Westbourne Green
Do older homes in Westbourne Green have asbestos?
Any home in Westbourne Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Westbourne Green and the area around London Paddington station?
Yes. London Paddington station is about 0.5 miles south-east of Westbourne Green, and we cover both.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Westbourne Green?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
