Asbestos removal in Westfield
Asbestos removal for Westfield properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and asbestos found during building work, including cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
In areas like Westfield, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Duty holders and landlords in Westfield
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Westfield must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Typical removal jobs in Westfield
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Westfield Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Westfield
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Westfield contain asbestos?
If your home in Westfield was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
