Asbestos removal for Greenford properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From loft water tanks and textured coatings, we cover cement roof sheets, floor tiles and water tanks and more.
In Greenford, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Greenford
Can you work in Greenford with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you cover Greenford and the area around Greenford station?
Yes, we cover Greenford, including the streets around Greenford station.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

What else we do in Greenford
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
