Asbestos removal for West Drayton properties
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in West Drayton falls into that category. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, textured coatings and cement soffits, and people generally contact us about cement flues and gutters and old cold water tanks.
In areas like West Drayton, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

West Drayton: your questions answered
Do you work in West Drayton despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do you work near West Drayton station?
Yes, we cover West Drayton and the area towards West Drayton station, about 0.5 miles north-west.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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’re worried about your health.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Older buildings in West Drayton, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
