What we deal with in Queenborough
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex before plastering
If you let property near Queenborough station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing

Questions from Queenborough
How far is Queenborough from London?
We cover Queenborough, about 37 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Queenborough homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Your options compared
