About our asbestos removal in Kingston
Asbestos removal in Kingston covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From loft water tanks and asbestos found during building work, we deal with cement soffits, water tanks and textured coatings.
In places like Kingston, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Kingston
How far is Kingston from London?
We cover Kingston, about 64 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Kingston homes?
If your home in Kingston was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Water tanks
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Kingston must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Kingston, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
What affects the price in Kingston
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will recommend the right option.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Options to consider in Kingston
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
