Asbestos in Ruislip Manor
Ruislip Manor is one of the densest pieces of interwar estate building in Hillingdon — street after street of near-identical 1930s semis and terraces laid out around the station in a single burst. Because the stock is so uniform, the asbestos we find is uniform too: textured artex ceilings and coving from later 1960s-80s redecoration, asbestos insulating board panels boxing in meters and airing cupboards, and cement flue pipes from replaced back boilers. Loft conversions and rear extensions, very common here as families outgrow a two-bed, routinely disturb this material. Rear gardens still hold a high proportion of original asbestos cement garages, sheds and greenhouse bases.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Ruislip Manor properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Asbestos Removal in Ruislip Manor: FAQs
Is the artex ceiling in my Ruislip Manor house dangerous, and can I just skim over it?
Textured coatings applied before the mid-1980s often contain a small percentage of chrysotile, so a sample test at £50-£80 settles it before any work starts. If it is positive and in sound condition, over-boarding or skimming by a competent plasterer is usually acceptable and is not licensed work. Sanding or scraping it dry is never acceptable and would put fibres through the whole house.
We're doing a loft conversion — what survey do we need first?
A refurbishment and demolition survey is the right one, because it is intrusive and looks inside the areas your builder will actually break into, unlike a management survey. It costs more than a standard management survey, which starts around £200-£300, with the exact figure depending on how much of the loft, roof void and stairwell needs opening up. Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 the survey has to be done before the work begins, not after something suspicious appears.
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.
