About our asbestos removal in Westerham
In homes, in Westerham as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos garages.
In London neighbourhoods like Westerham, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, which affects how the waste is carried out. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These come up again and again:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older buildings across Westerham, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the job needs notifying
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Westerham questions
Could my house in Westerham contain asbestos?
If your home in Westerham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Westerham despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Let us know the parking situation and we’ll plan around it; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do you cover Westerham?
We do: Westerham is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
