About our asbestos removal in West Ealing

In London neighbourhoods like West Ealing, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Why people call us in West Ealing
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in West Ealing, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Common questions in West Ealing
Do older homes in West Ealing have asbestos?
Any home in West Ealing built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Hanwell station?
Yes, we cover West Ealing, including the streets around Hanwell station.
Do you test before removing asbestos in West Ealing?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
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 get in touch and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you cover West Ealing?
Yes, we do: our area includes West Ealing and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in West Ealing, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you run a business from older premises in West Ealing, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
