Ruislip Manor properties and textured coatings
Ruislip Manor is about 1 mile south of Ruislip, in Greater London. Ruislip Manor is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We cover all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. Our area stretches from Ruislip Manor to London (about 14 miles away).

Duty holders and landlords in Ruislip Manor
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
FAQs for Ruislip Manor
Do you work in Ruislip Manor despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do older homes in Ruislip Manor have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ruislip Manor can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep the results and paperwork
