Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.

- Garage roofs and whole garages

FAQs for TW5
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in TW5?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
