About asbestos removal in W1U

If your builder has found suspect material in W1U, stop work in that area and keep people away. We will identify it and plan what happens next. People often contact us about textured coatings and garage roofs and whole garages, including floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.

Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We identify it if needed and plan the method
  3. We send a quote covering the work and the waste
  4. The material is removed safely
  5. We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

Asbestos removal across W1U

Removal jobs across W1U range from garage roofs in Marylebone, Mayfair and Paddington to barns and outbuildings in 0 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.

Marylebone: If you let property near Bond Street station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In older properties in Marylebone, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. In winter, the light goes in Marylebone by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

How we price asbestos removal

  • Access to the area
  • How much waste there is
  • What the material is and its state

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

A closer look at the materials

Floor tiles

Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.

Insulating board and lagging

Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in W1U, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

What we deal with in W1U

Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.

These are some of the things we deal with in W1U:

  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs
  • Artex ceilings before renovation
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive

Common questions in W1U

How quickly can you come out?

Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

Do I need to move out?

That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
