Asbestos removal for Heston properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Heston falls into that category. Whether it’s asbestos garages and loft water tanks, we deal with water tanks, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
In London neighbourhoods like Heston, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Garage and shed roofs

After we have finished in Heston
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
