Asbestos removal across TW17

Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, including textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked, and we talk you through what was done.

  1. Send us the postcode and photos
  2. We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
  3. We agree a date and any notification needed

Removal jobs across TW17 range from garage roofs in Shepperton, Shepperton Green and Upper Halliford to barns and outbuildings in 4 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.

Shepperton: For rentals close to Shepperton station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. Older buildings in Shepperton, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. In winter, the light goes in Shepperton by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

For businesses and landlords in TW17

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Why people call us in TW17

Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.

These come up again and again:

  • Old cold water tanks
  • Debris left from a previous job
  • Artex before plastering
  • Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles

Choosing the right option

Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
  • VAT, clearly stated
  • Any exclusions
  • Waste disposal and the consignment note

Afterwards

File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.

  • File the consignment note
  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

The scope of asbestos removal

What’s in and what’s out:

  • Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate

TW17: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.

Can I stay at home during removal?

It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Do you work in flats?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
