Removing asbestos around Northfields
Northfields is about 1 mile south of Ealing, in Greater London. Northfields is within our Greater London area, for removal jobs of every size. Northfields is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our area stretches from Northfields to London (about 9 miles away).
In older buildings across Northfields, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. For properties on main roads such as the A3002, we plan parking and loading in advance.
We cover removal jobs across W5, W13 and TW8 and the streets around it. That could mean a property on Burns Road, South Road and Elers Road or the roads around them. Northfields is on the A3002, which makes it simple to get to. Neighbouring places we cover include Brentford (1 mile south-east), Gillette Corner (1 mile south-west), Brentford End (1 mile south), Osterley (2 miles south-west) and Spring Grove (2 miles south-west). We also cover nearby towns such as London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (7 miles east), Marylebone (7 miles east), Kensington (5 miles east), St Pancras (9 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).
As a London location, Northfields is inside the ULEZ, and parking and loading need planning: let us know about parking and access when you get in touch.
A little further out are Ealing Hospital (1.4 miles west) and Municipal Borough of Ealing (1 mile north). Within reach you will find Middle Lake and Long Wood.

Asbestos removal for Northfields properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and broken sheets in gardens, we cover water tanks, flue pipes and cement soffits and more.
In Northfields, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Why people call us in Northfields
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos garages
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
For non-domestic buildings like Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How fibres will be kept down
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once we are done:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Northfields, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Northfields, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Questions from Northfields
Can you work in Northfields with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do you work near Brentford station?
Yes. Brentford station is about 0.8 miles south of Northfields, and we cover both.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Northfields?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
