Asbestos Removal in Sipson
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Sipson, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across West London.
Asbestos in Sipson
Sipson is one of the surviving Heathrow villages — a small core of older cottages and Victorian and interwar houses along Sipson Road and Sipson Lane, surrounded by airport-support yards, hotels, car parks and light industrial units. The residential stock is old enough for artex ceilings, cement flues and asbestos cement outbuildings, and many properties have been let or subdivided for years with minimal recorded refurbishment. The commercial fringe is where the volume sits: warehouse and yard buildings from the 1960s and 70s with cement sheet roofs, wall cladding and rooflight surrounds. Long-running airport expansion uncertainty has left a number of buildings under-maintained, which matters because damaged sheeting is far more of a risk than sound sheeting.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Sipson properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
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 Sipson: FAQs
I run a small unit off Sipson Road with a cement sheet roof — what am I obliged to do?
As the person responsible for maintaining a commercial building you hold the duty to manage under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means a survey, a register, a condition assessment and a written management plan that is reviewed and shared with anyone who works on the fabric. A management survey for a small unit typically starts around £200-£300, with the price rising with floor area and roof access.
Our old village cottage is being renovated — is a management survey enough?
No. A management survey deliberately avoids opening up the structure, so it is the wrong tool before a strip-out. A refurbishment and demolition survey goes intrusively into ceilings, floors and chimney breasts and costs more, but it is what the regulations expect before disturbance work. If lagging or insulating board is found, removal becomes licensed, notifiable work for an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
