Questions from Notting Dale
Do you work in Notting Dale despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you cover Notting Dale and the area around Shepherds Bush station?
Yes, we cover Notting Dale and the area towards Shepherds Bush station, about 0.7 miles south-west.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How many samples will I need?
Typically one per material, sometimes more. We will advise when you tell us what you are testing.
After we have finished in Notting Dale
If asbestos is found, we will explain your options: leave and manage it, cover it, or remove it before work.
A few practical points:
- Don’t touch it before we arrive
- Clear access to the area
- Photos of the material help us plan
- Let us know what you want to do next
Avoid these
Photos are helpful, as long as you don’t disturb anything.
Until you have the result, do not drill, sand, scrape or cut the material.
Materials we deal with
Cement sheets
Grey corrugated sheets on garages and sheds are a common request. A test confirms what the sheet is made of.
Boards and panels
Boards in boiler cupboards, behind heaters or as soffits can be asbestos insulating board. A test tells you which.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens
We start by agreeing exactly what to sample, then take each sample with the area damped and the point sealed afterwards. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum.

- You get a quote for the samples needed
- We take each sample safely and seal it
- An accredited lab analyses them

Before we arrive

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Identifying the material is the first step; removal is planned separately
- Clearance testing is a separate, independent job
- A test only covers the materials sampled, so bigger work needs a survey
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
