For businesses and landlords in West Street
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in West Street were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Common questions in West Street
Do you cover West Street from London?
We cover West Street, about 39 miles from central London.
Do you cover West Street and the area around Lenham station?
Yes. Lenham station is about 1.6 miles south-west of West Street, and we cover both.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you test before removing asbestos in West Street?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you work in West Street?
Yes. We cover West Street and the surrounding area as part of Kent. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- Labels, if any
- A clear close-up
- Damaged areas
- A rough size or measurement
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
