Asbestos Removal in Charville
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Charville, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across West London.
Asbestos in Charville
Charville sits between Hayes and Yeading and is overwhelmingly post-war estate housing — 1950s and 60s terraces, semis and two-storey maisonette blocks built by the borough on a planned layout. Construction from this period leaned heavily on asbestos insulating board for ceiling and wall panels, riser ducts, soffits and airing cupboards, and on asbestos cement for roof sheets, flues, gutters and drainage goods. Communal bin stores, drying areas and garage blocks across the estate frequently retain their original cement roofing. Since much of the stock is now a mix of council tenancies, right-to-buy owners and private lets, one street can hold three different refurbishment histories and three different asbestos pictures.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Charville 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.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Charville: FAQs
There are asbestos panels in the communal areas of my Charville block — who has to deal with them?
Communal areas are non-domestic under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, so the duty to manage falls on the landlord, freeholder or managing agent for the block. They must have an asbestos register, assess the condition and either manage the material in place or remove it. If the panels are insulating board and damaged, removal is licensed and notifiable and must go to an HSE-licensed contractor.
I'm putting in a new kitchen in an ex-council house — do I need a survey first?
Yes, if you are ripping out ceilings, ducting or old boiler boxing rather than just replacing units. A refurbishment survey targeted at the kitchen and any adjoining cupboard is far cheaper than halting a job mid-strip, and sits above the £200-£300 management survey range depending on scope. Fitters are not permitted to work on asbestos-containing materials, so finding it after demolition starts usually costs more than surveying first.
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.
