Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Pitshanger:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Finds during refurbishment
For non-domestic buildings like North Ealing Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Questions from Pitshanger
Do you work near Castle Bar Park station?
Yes, we cover Pitshanger and the area towards Castle Bar Park station, about 0.8 miles west.
Do older homes in Pitshanger have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Pitshanger?

What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
