Eel Pie Island: your questions answered
Do you cover Eel Pie Island and the area around Twickenham station?
Yes, we cover Eel Pie Island, including the streets around Twickenham station.
Do older homes in Eel Pie Island have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Eel Pie Island can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Eel Pie Island?
Yes. We cover Eel Pie Island and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
About our asbestos removal in Eel Pie Island
Every removal job in Eel Pie Island is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages, involving flue pipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In London neighbourhoods like Eel Pie Island, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.
