About asbestos removal in UB6
In homes, in UB6 as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and materials found mid-project, including flue pipes, floor tiles and cement soffits.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.

UB6: removal jobs of every size
Across UB6, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Greenford: If you let property near Greenford station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In older properties in Greenford, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. Outdoor removal in Greenford is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:20pm in June.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common reasons for removal jobs in UB6
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found.

Your questions about asbestos removal in UB6
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
