Asbestos removal in Brentford

Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and garage roof sheets.
Removal jobs around Brentford often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

FAQs for Brentford
Do you cover Brentford and the area around Brentford station?
Yes, we cover Brentford, including the streets around Brentford station.
Could my house in Brentford contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover Brentford?
Yes, Brentford is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Brentford?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.

What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
