Asbestos in Colham Green
Colham Green is a compact residential pocket south of Uxbridge, dominated by mid-century council-built houses and low-rise blocks with later private infill along the through roads. Housing of this age and construction type routinely contains asbestos insulating board in ceiling panels, door linings, meter cupboards and soffits, alongside asbestos cement rainwater goods and garage roofs. Rear gardens here still hold a lot of original sheds and lean-tos built from cement sheet in the 1960s. Because many homes have passed into private ownership and been extended or re-roofed since, records are patchy and the safest assumption before any work is that material of that era is present until tested.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Colham Green 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 Colham Green: FAQs
How much to take down an old asbestos shed and lean-to in a Colham Green back garden?
Asbestos cement sheds and lean-tos are non-licensed work when handled correctly, so the cost is driven mainly by volume, access and disposal. A small shed and roof typically falls in the same bracket as a garage roof, roughly £380 to £800 including sheeting to a licensed waste site with a consignment note. We would normally confirm the material with a £50-£80 sample first so you are not paying for asbestos handling on something that turns out to be fibre cement without asbestos.
I'm a landlord here — what do I have to give my tenants or contractors?
You must not expose anyone to asbestos, which in practice means knowing what is in the property before you send a plumber or electrician into it. A management survey from around £200-£300 produces a register you can hand over at the start of any job. If work will break into ceilings, ducts or floors, a more intrusive refurbishment survey is the correct choice and costs more.
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.
