Asbestos in Bedfont
Bedfont sits on the northern fringe of Heathrow and its housing is mostly 1930s ribbon development along the Staines Road plus substantial post-war estate building in East and West Bedfont. That combination puts asbestos cement in garage and outbuilding roofs across the older stock and asbestos insulating board in the 1950s and 1960s houses and low-rise flats. The airport's cargo and logistics belt brings a large stock of mid-century warehouses, hangars and workshops with cement sheet roofing and older plant room lagging. Landlords converting family houses into shared accommodation for airport workers regularly disturb artex and floor tiles during refits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Bedfont 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 Surveys in Bedfont: FAQs
I run a small unit near the Heathrow cargo area — what survey do I need?
For day-to-day occupation you need a management survey to satisfy the duty to manage in Regulation 4 of CAR 2012, generally £200 to £300 for a small unit, supported by an asbestos register and a written management plan. If you are fitting out, racking, or altering the building, that must be upgraded to a refurbishment and demolition survey covering the work area, which is intrusive and priced higher.
Can I take my old asbestos shed roof to the tip myself in Bedfont?
Some local authority household waste sites will take small quantities of bonded asbestos cement from householders if it is double-wrapped and booked in advance, but they refuse loose or damaged material and refuse trade waste outright. Given the handling risk, most people opt for a contractor removal, which for a typical shed or garage roof runs about £380 to £800 including wrapping, transport and disposal at a licensed facility with a consignment note.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
