Asbestos removal in West End
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s finds during refurbishment and old waste on site, we cover floor tiles, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In areas like West End, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

The process
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. We plan outdoor jobs in West End to finish before dark: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:15pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Asbestos removal in West End: local notes

Older buildings in West End, near St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. If you let property near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. The coast is within about 3 miles of West End; on exposed coastal sites, wind affects when outdoor removal can go ahead.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Why people call us in West End
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
For non-domestic buildings like Thornden Wood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What to look for in a quote

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once we are done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Common questions in West End
Do you cover small places like West End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station?
Yes, we cover West End and the area towards Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, about 1.3 miles north-west.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
