Asbestos removal in West Byfleet
Asbestos removal near West Byfleet
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
Properties in areas like West Byfleet with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

West Byfleet questions
Do you cover West Byfleet from London?
West Byfleet is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near West Byfleet station?
Yes. West Byfleet station is close to the centre of West Byfleet, and we cover the whole area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.

Avoid these

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
