About our asbestos removal in Kingsgate
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include asbestos garages and old cold water tanks, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks.
Rural removal near Kingsgate can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- Travel and parking
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
For a quick quote, include:
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
