Asbestos removal near Northolt
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. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and cement water tanks in lofts, including flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In Northolt, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Your options compared
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 normally right. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is

Helpful guides
Duty holders and landlords in Northolt
If your business premises in Northolt were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Northolt questions
Do you cover Northolt and the area around Northolt Park station?
Yes. Northolt Park station is about 0.7 miles north-east of Northolt, and we cover both.
Do you work in Northolt despite London parking restrictions?

Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.

DIY and asbestos
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Northolt
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Looking after things afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
