Asbestos removal in Acton Green

Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover flue pipes, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.

In London neighbourhoods like Acton Green, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

More about this service

Which option is right?

Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Why us?

  • Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
  • Written quotes that say what’s included
  • No removal until we know what it is
  • Waste paperwork for every removal

Doing it yourself?

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Acton Green

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.

You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:

  • Finds during refurbishment
  • Garage roofs and whole garages
  • Outbuildings with cement roofs
  • Old cold water tanks

In older properties in Acton Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
  • Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
  • What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
  • Which laboratory analyses samples

What to check before you book

Landlords, managing agents and employers

For managing agents and freeholders in Acton Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.

If you run a business from older premises in Acton Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

After the job

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
  • File the consignment note
  • Keep children and pets away on the day

What to avoid

Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Acton Green questions

Do older homes in Acton Green 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 Acton Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Do you cover Acton Green and the area around South Acton station?

Yes. South Acton station is close to the centre of Acton Green, and we cover the whole area.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

What affects the price in Acton Green

The cost depends on:

  • The quantity or area
  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • How easy it is to reach
  • Licensed or non-licensed

Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
