Asbestos removal in Hillingdon
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and cement water tanks in lofts, including gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
Removal jobs around Hillingdon often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so access and parking are planned carefully. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

What else we do in Hillingdon
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
- The category of work
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Where we could park

What we deal with in Hillingdon
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Textured coatings
For properties on main roads such as the B465 and B467, we plan parking and loading in advance.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What paperwork you get
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hillingdon must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once we are done:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
