Asbestos in Feltham
Feltham expanded heavily in the interwar years around its railway works and then again after the war to house Heathrow and industrial workers, producing a mix of 1930s semis and large post-war council estates and low-rise blocks. The interwar houses carry asbestos-cement garages, coal stores and soffits, while the post-war estate stock used insulating board for fire protection to ceilings, ducts and cupboards and gained textured coatings during 1970s and 80s modernisation. The Feltham and Hanworth industrial estates hold a substantial stock of 1950s to 1970s units with cement roof sheeting and lagged services, much of it now being redeveloped. Airport-related HMO conversion across the area means a lot of houses have been subdivided with little regard for what was cut into.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Feltham 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 Testing & Air Monitoring in Feltham: FAQs
We are refitting a Feltham industrial unit. What are the licensed items to watch for?
Pipe and boiler lagging and any sprayed coating to steelwork are licensed and notifiable, needing an HSE-licensed contractor and fourteen days notice before removal. Cement roof sheets and cement wall panels are normally non-licensed but must be removed whole rather than cut. A refurbishment and demolition survey before you start will separate the two and let you price the job accurately.
I am converting a Feltham house into flats for airport staff. Do I need a survey?
Yes. Conversion means opening up ceilings, partitions and services, so a refurbishment and demolition survey is required rather than a management survey. Once the flats are created you also become the duty holder for the common parts and will need an ongoing management survey, register and plan under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
