About our asbestos removal in Kingston Bagpuize

Properties in areas like Kingston Bagpuize with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Kingston Bagpuize
How far is Kingston Bagpuize from London?
Kingston Bagpuize is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Kingston Bagpuize have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Kingston Bagpuize can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Options to consider in Kingston Bagpuize
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
In older buildings across Kingston Bagpuize, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

Duty holders and landlords in Kingston Bagpuize
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
