West Bedfont: your questions answered
Do you cover West Bedfont and the area around Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station?
Yes, we cover West Bedfont and the area towards Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, about 1 mile north-east.
Do you cover West Bedfont from London?
West Bedfont is about 16 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in West Bedfont, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Typical Artex jobs in West Bedfont
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For a school such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
