Asbestos in Hanworth
Hanworth is dominated by large post-war council-built estates put up from the late 1940s through the 1960s, together with interwar housing around Hanworth Park and a substantial industrial estate on the Feltham side. The post-war estate housing is the classic asbestos insulating board era — AIB behind electric heaters, in airing cupboards, on soffits and as ceiling and partition linings — and much of it survives in properties bought under right to buy and never fully modernised. The industrial units add asbestos cement roof sheets, cladding and older boiler house lagging. Tenants and leaseholders here often find the council register covers only the communal parts, leaving the flat interior unrecorded.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Hanworth 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 Hanworth: FAQs
What is the board behind the old heater in my Hanworth ex-council house?
Panels of that type in 1950s and 1960s estate housing are frequently asbestos insulating board, which is far more friable and hazardous than asbestos cement. Do not drill or break it — have a sample taken and analysed, typically £50 to £80. If it is confirmed as AIB, removal is licensed work under CAR 2012 and must be carried out by an HSE-licensed contractor with 14 days' notification to the HSE.
Does my landlord have to give me an asbestos register for a Hanworth industrial unit?
Yes in substance — under Regulation 4 of CAR 2012 whoever holds the repairing obligation for a non-domestic building has a duty to manage asbestos, keep a register and make it available to anyone liable to disturb the materials. A management survey for a small unit typically runs £200 to £300, and any refurbishment work needs the fuller, intrusive refurbishment and demolition survey on top.
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.
