How asbestos removal works in Harmondsworth
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Harmondsworth. We often deal with flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and debris left from a previous job.
In London neighbourhoods like Harmondsworth, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Harmondsworth were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Harmondsworth: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Harmondsworth homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harmondsworth can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station?
Yes. Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station is about 1 mile south of Harmondsworth, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
- Artex before plastering
At a school such as Harmondsworth Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
