About our asbestos removal in Willesden
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about Artex before plastering and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
Removal jobs around Willesden often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common questions in Willesden
Can you work in Willesden with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you cover Willesden and the area around Kensal Rise station?
Yes. Kensal Rise station is about 1.1 miles south-east of Willesden, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Typical removal jobs in Willesden
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in Willesden, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Before booking anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For businesses and landlords in Willesden
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
