Asbestos removal near Hanwell
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. From garage roof sheets and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Hanwell, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hanwell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
FAQs for Hanwell
Could my house in Hanwell contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Hanwell may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Hanwell despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you cover Hanwell?
Yes. We cover Hanwell and the surrounding area as part of Greater London. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
