Asbestos in Yeading
Yeading is one of the larger post-war housing areas in Hillingdon, built out from the 1940s onwards with borough terraces, semis and two- and three-storey maisonette blocks around Yeading Lane and the brook. Maisonettes of this era are a classic setting for asbestos insulating board — panels to ceilings and partitions, service risers, entrance door linings and airing cupboards — with asbestos cement used for roof sheets, flues and rainwater goods. Communal drying areas, bin stores and garage courts across the area still carry original cement sheeting. Later 1970s-80s infill and heavy right-to-buy modernisation mean neighbouring properties on the same street can differ sharply in what is still in place.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Yeading 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 Yeading: FAQs
Is asbestos insulating board in a Yeading maisonette dangerous if we leave it alone?
If it is sealed, undamaged and somewhere it will not be knocked, managing it in place is usually the recommended approach and is entirely legitimate under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. The risk comes from drilling, cutting or water damage. A management survey from around £200-£300 records where it is and what condition it is in, so it can be checked periodically rather than forgotten.
Who pays for asbestos removal in a leasehold maisonette block here?
Costs in the common parts normally flow through the service charge under the terms of your lease, while anything inside your own demise is usually yours. The freeholder or managing agent still holds the duty to manage the shared parts and should already have a register. Where insulating board is involved the work is licensed and notifiable, so it must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor and cannot be handed to a general builder.
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.
