Our asbestos removal in TW6
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork

Heathrow: Landlords near Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station often time removal for when a property is empty. At a school such as Bedfont Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Outdoor removal in Heathrow is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:20pm.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, 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. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After we’ve finished in TW6
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.

Questions from TW6
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
