Asbestos removal in Yiewsley
Asbestos removal near Yiewsley
Asbestos removal in Yiewsley covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with textured coatings, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are old flues and asbestos garages.
In towns and villages like Yiewsley, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
The scope of asbestos removal
Before you book, note that:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Yes. West Drayton station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Yiewsley, and we cover both.
Can you work in Yiewsley with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
