About asbestos removal in TW8
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Typical jobs include old flues and broken sheets in gardens, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- The material is removed safely
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Pricing in TW8

Where we work in TW8
Common removal jobs in TW8 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Brentford: Landlords near Brentford station often time removal for when a property is empty. In a school like St Paul's CofE Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In winter, the light goes in Brentford by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in TW8 must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories.
What your quote should include
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
- Any exclusions
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Debris left from a previous job
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about asbestos removal in TW8
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover TW8?
Yes, we do: TW8 is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
