Asbestos removal in Old Chiswick
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Asbestos removal in Old Chiswick
In homes, in Old Chiswick as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles.

From flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with water tanks, textured coatings and floor tiles and more.
In Old Chiswick, removal often involves flats, small gardens and limited access, so access and parking are planned carefully. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Typical removal jobs in Old Chiswick
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Old Chiswick, near St. Nicholas Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
