Asbestos in Shepherds Bush
Shepherds Bush is dense Victorian terraced housing around the Green and Askew Road, much of it long since subdivided into flats and HMOs, sitting alongside the large postwar and 1960s estates at White City and Wormholt. The subdivided terraces carry the classic conversion-era hazards: AIB fire linings to flat entrance doors and stair soffits, textured coatings, cement flues and old floor tiles under laminate. The system-built estate blocks add AIB panels to service risers, window infill panels and heating duct linings, all under communal duty-to-manage responsibility. There is also a steady flow of commercial refurbishment work in the retail and workshop units around Uxbridge Road and Goldhawk Road.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Shepherds Bush 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 Shepherds Bush: FAQs
I run an HMO in Shepherds Bush — what asbestos duties do I have?
The common parts of an HMO are non-domestic premises for the purposes of Regulation 4 of CAR 2012, so the hallway, stairs, shared kitchen, plant and any cupboards need a management survey, a register and a management plan. For a typical converted terrace that is around £200 to £300. It also protects you at licensing inspection, because councils increasingly ask what you know about the fire-door linings and stair soffits before they sign off.
There are grey panels around the heating pipes in my White City flat — what should I do?
Do not drill, cut or remove them, and report them to your landlord or managing agent, who holds the duty for communal risers and heating ducts. Panels of that type are frequently asbestos insulating board, and AIB removal is licensed work requiring an HSE-licensed contractor and fourteen days' notification to the HSE. If the panels are intact the correct answer is usually to label, record and leave them, which costs nothing and is safer than disturbance.
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.
