Removing asbestos around Twickenham
Twickenham is about 7 miles south-west of Kensington, in Greater London. Anywhere in Twickenham, just send the postcode. We cover 764 places across Greater London. You can also see our page for London, about 11 miles away.
At a school such as St Richard Reynolds Catholic Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Twickenham, near Salvation Army or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Wherever your property is in TW1, TW2, TW4 and TW3, asbestos removal is available, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs

Typical removal jobs in Twickenham
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Greater London may contain it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
If you are on or near the A305 and A310, tell us about parking and loading.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Twickenham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Questions from Twickenham
Do you work near Twickenham station?
Yes, we cover Twickenham and the area towards Twickenham station, about 0.5 miles north-east.
Do you work in Twickenham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
