Asbestos Removal in Alperton
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Alperton, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across North West London.
Asbestos in Alperton
Alperton grew along the Grand Union Canal as an industrial district before the interwar terraces and semis filled in around Ealing Road, and the canalside is now in the middle of a long tall-buildings regeneration programme. That leaves three overlapping profiles: ageing light-industrial and yard buildings with sheeted roofs, lagged plant and insulating board offices; interwar houses with cement garages, soffits and flues; and demolition sites where full refurbishment and demolition surveys are mandatory before anything comes down. Older Ealing Road commercial units with flats above are a persistent source of hidden boarding in ceiling voids and risers.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Alperton properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Alperton: FAQs
Do we need a survey before demolishing an old canalside unit in Alperton?
Yes — a refurbishment and demolition survey is a legal requirement before demolition under CAR 2012, and no contractor should mobilise without one. It is fully intrusive and priced well above a management survey because the surveyor must reach every area that will be destroyed, including plant, ducts and voids. Any lagging or sprayed coating found must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor with fourteen days' notification.
I have a shop with a flat above on Ealing Road — is one survey enough for both?
The shop and the common parts are non-domestic and fall under the duty to manage, while the flat's own interior does not, but in practice it is simpler and cheaper to survey the whole building in one visit. A management survey of a small mixed-use property generally sits in the £200-£300 range. If a refit is planned for either part, upgrade to a refurbishment survey for the affected areas.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
