Asbestos in Charville
Charville sits between Hayes and Yeading and is overwhelmingly post-war estate housing — 1950s and 60s terraces, semis and two-storey maisonette blocks built by the borough on a planned layout. Construction from this period leaned heavily on asbestos insulating board for ceiling and wall panels, riser ducts, soffits and airing cupboards, and on asbestos cement for roof sheets, flues, gutters and drainage goods. Communal bin stores, drying areas and garage blocks across the estate frequently retain their original cement roofing. Since much of the stock is now a mix of council tenancies, right-to-buy owners and private lets, one street can hold three different refurbishment histories and three different asbestos pictures.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Charville 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 Charville: FAQs
There are asbestos panels in the communal areas of my Charville block — who has to deal with them?
Communal areas are non-domestic under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, so the duty to manage falls on the landlord, freeholder or managing agent for the block. They must have an asbestos register, assess the condition and either manage the material in place or remove it. If the panels are insulating board and damaged, removal is licensed and notifiable and must go to an HSE-licensed contractor.
I'm putting in a new kitchen in an ex-council house — do I need a survey first?
Yes, if you are ripping out ceilings, ducting or old boiler boxing rather than just replacing units. A refurbishment survey targeted at the kitchen and any adjoining cupboard is far cheaper than halting a job mid-strip, and sits above the £200-£300 management survey range depending on scope. Fitters are not permitted to work on asbestos-containing materials, so finding it after demolition starts usually costs more than surveying first.
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.
