Typical materials include flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters.

- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

Common reasons for removal jobs in West Twyford
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in West Twyford, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Common questions in West Twyford
Do older homes in West Twyford have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in West Twyford may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in West Twyford despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
