About our asbestos removal in Kingswood
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are floor tiles, water tanks and cement soffits, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Kingswood can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

FAQs for Kingswood
Could my house in Kingswood contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Kingswood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings

Typical removal jobs in Kingswood
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Grendon Underwood Combined School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- If the price includes VAT
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Any exclusions
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- 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.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
