How asbestos removal works in Willesden Green
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Willesden Green, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Willesden Green
Is asbestos common in Willesden Green homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Willesden Green and the area around Kensal Rise station?
Yes. Kensal Rise station is about 0.7 miles south-east of Willesden Green, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
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 my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning

What affects the price in Willesden Green
The cost depends on:

After we’ve finished in Willesden Green
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
