FAQs for Eel Pie Island
Do older homes in Eel Pie Island have asbestos?
If your home in Eel Pie Island was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eel Pie Island and the area around Twickenham station?
Yes. Twickenham station is close to the centre of Eel Pie Island, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Clearance air testing after licensed work is done by an independent UKAS-accredited analyst
- Testing doesn’t look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
