Asbestos removal for Ruislip
How asbestos removal works in Ruislip
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and materials found mid-project, we deal with water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In London neighbourhoods like Ruislip, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Ruislip, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- Whether the job needs notifying
- The documents you will receive
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Questions from Ruislip
Is asbestos common in Ruislip homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ruislip may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near West Ruislip station?
Yes. West Ruislip station is about 1.3 miles west of Ruislip, and we cover both.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
