How asbestos removal works in W11
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and debris left from a previous job, involving cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note

Asbestos removal across W11
Across W11, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Kensington, Notting Hill and Notting Dale and the 0 villages and hamlets around them.
Kensington: In older properties in Kensington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. For non-domestic buildings like St Barnabas and St Philip's CofE Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. We plan outdoor jobs in Kensington to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
Duty holders and landlords in W11
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in W11 must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
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.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded.
What to look for in a quote

- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

FAQs for W11
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How much does asbestos removal cost in W11?
There’s no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
