About our asbestos removal in West Town
Asbestos removal in West Town covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.

Duty holders and landlords in West Town
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These are some of the things we deal with in West Town:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in West Town, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Common questions in West Town
Is asbestos common in West Town homes?
Any home in West Town built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover West Town from London?
We cover West Town, about 62 miles from central London.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
