Asbestos in Forest City's Built Environment
London's identity as a regional hub for healthcare, education, and insurance — as well as a manufacturing centre — has produced a diverse building stock with correspondingly varied asbestos risk profiles. Victorian-era homes in Old East and Old South, mid-century institutional buildings at Western University and London Health Sciences, and post-war residential neighbourhoods throughout the south and west ends all represent distinct asbestos scenarios.
As London continues to densify and redevelop, especially around the downtown core and university district, the demand for asbestos abatement prior to renovation and demolition has grown substantially.
Specific London neighbourhoods worth flagging: Old East Village and Old South contain dense pre-1950 housing with asbestos common in original plaster, basement insulation, and floor underlayment. Wortley Village and the streets around it — heritage-protected with much of the housing pre-1925 — have asbestos primarily in later renovation finishes overlaying original materials. The Hamilton Road corridor and the working-class streets between Hamilton Road and the railway lines contain dense post-war housing built for industrial workers, with the full residential asbestos profile. Hyde Park and Masonville on the city's north end include 1960s and 1970s suburban housing where vermiculite attic insulation is a particularly common finding alongside the standard post-war ACM materials.
From Victorian Homes to Hospital Wings
Our London-area work spans the full range from pre-war Victorian homes in Wortley Village to institutional facilities requiring strict operational continuity during abatement. We understand that the right approach for a residential duplex in Old South is very different from a phased abatement in an occupied wing of a hospital.
We serve Middlesex County and regularly work in Strathroy, St. Thomas, and other communities within the London regional orbit.
Institutional continuity matters as much as compliance. Hospitals, universities, and municipal facilities can't simply shut down for abatement work. Our London-area institutional projects are planned around clinical operations, academic calendars, and public service delivery — with phased work windows, careful sequencing of containment areas, and documentation that supports both compliance audits and operational handover. The result is abatement that satisfies O. Reg. 278/05 without disrupting the institutional functions the facility exists to deliver.

FAQ
Questions About London
Have a question specific to your property or situation? Call us — no obligation.
647.483.7085Is London's building stock at high asbestos risk?
Yes. London is home to a substantial pre-1980 residential inventory — particularly in Old East Village, Old South, Wortley Village, and Byron — and a large institutional stock including hospitals, Western University buildings, and municipal facilities built during the asbestos era. The combination creates broad exposure across both residential and institutional property categories.
Do you handle hospital and university buildings in London?
Yes. Institutional facilities require a different approach than residential work — typically with stricter infection control protocols (for hospitals), operational continuity requirements, and more complex documentation. We have experience working within these environments.
Do you serve Middlesex County and the surrounding region?
Yes. We serve London and Middlesex County for asbestos abatement, as well as proximate communities including Strathroy, St. Thomas, and Woodstock.
Do you handle abatement at Western University and Fanshawe College properties?
Yes. Western and Fanshawe have substantial inventories of pre-1980 academic, residential, and athletic facilities. Western's main campus has buildings dating from the 1920s through the 1970s, with asbestos common in mechanical rooms, pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, and floor systems. Off-campus student rental housing — particularly in Old North, Old South, and the Masonville area — frequently contains asbestos in original construction materials disturbed by years of small renovations. We support both institutional capital projects and private student-rental landlords with assessment, abatement, and compliance documentation.
What's involved in asbestos abatement at hospitals like London Health Sciences Centre?
Hospital abatement is among the most demanding work in the field. Beyond standard Type 2 or Type 3 protocols it requires infection control risk assessments (ICRAs), negative-air containment that integrates with existing HVAC systems, coordination with infection prevention and clinical operations, scheduling around active clinical service delivery, and documentation that satisfies both occupational health and clinical compliance frameworks. We've structured our hospital project teams to support these requirements — specialized PPE protocols, scheduled work windows around clinical service hours, and full chain-of-custody documentation for every cubic foot of removed material.
