Asbestos removal in Ealing
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. From vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with cement roof sheets, flue pipes and cement soffits.
Removal jobs around Ealing often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Asbestos removal in Ealing: local notes

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Duty holders and landlords in Ealing
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work

What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch

Can you work in Ealing with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Ealing contain asbestos?
If your home in Ealing was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
