Asbestos in Feltham
Feltham expanded heavily in the interwar years around its railway works and then again after the war to house Heathrow and industrial workers, producing a mix of 1930s semis and large post-war council estates and low-rise blocks. The interwar houses carry asbestos-cement garages, coal stores and soffits, while the post-war estate stock used insulating board for fire protection to ceilings, ducts and cupboards and gained textured coatings during 1970s and 80s modernisation. The Feltham and Hanworth industrial estates hold a substantial stock of 1950s to 1970s units with cement roof sheeting and lagged services, much of it now being redeveloped. Airport-related HMO conversion across the area means a lot of houses have been subdivided with little regard for what was cut into.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Feltham 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 Feltham: FAQs
We are refitting a Feltham industrial unit. What are the licensed items to watch for?
Pipe and boiler lagging and any sprayed coating to steelwork are licensed and notifiable, needing an HSE-licensed contractor and fourteen days notice before removal. Cement roof sheets and cement wall panels are normally non-licensed but must be removed whole rather than cut. A refurbishment and demolition survey before you start will separate the two and let you price the job accurately.
I am converting a Feltham house into flats for airport staff. Do I need a survey?
Yes. Conversion means opening up ceilings, partitions and services, so a refurbishment and demolition survey is required rather than a management survey. Once the flats are created you also become the duty holder for the common parts and will need an ongoing management survey, register and plan under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
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.
