Asbestos removal in Hounslow
Asbestos removal in Hounslow
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Hounslow, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
Landlords near Sunbury station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Hounslow questions
Do you cover Hounslow and the area around Sunbury station?
Yes, we cover Hounslow and the area towards Sunbury station, about 0.9 miles south-east.
Is asbestos common in Hounslow homes?
If your home in Hounslow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

What else we do in Hounslow
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

When we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
