HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

How asbestos removal works in West Kingston
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and old flues, involving textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks.
In towns and villages like West Kingston, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

West Kingston questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover West Kingston from London?
West Kingston is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover West Kingston?
Yes. We cover West Kingston and the surrounding area as part of West Sussex. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
