Asbestos removal for West Green
About our asbestos removal in West Green
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Whether it’s old floor tiles and black adhesive and Artex ceilings before renovation, we deal with water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In towns and villages like West Green, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
After we’ve finished:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

West Green questions
Do you cover West Green and the area around Crawley station?
Yes. Crawley station is about 0.8 miles south of West Green, and we cover both.
How far is West Green from London?
West Green is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you test before removing asbestos in West Green?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s included, and what is not
Before booking, note that:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
