Asbestos removal near Lee Gate
In homes, in Lee Gate as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with floor tiles, textured coatings and water tanks, and people normally contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and finds during refurbishment.
In Lee Gate, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

FAQs for Lee Gate
Do you cover Lee Gate and the area around Wendover station?
Yes, we cover Lee Gate and the area towards Wendover station, about 2.4 miles north-west.
Do older homes in Lee Gate have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
