Asbestos removal near Westwood
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Westwood falls into that category. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old cold water tanks, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In places like Westwood, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Work done to the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Westwood
Do you cover Westwood and the area around Margate station?
Yes. Margate station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Westwood, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Westwood have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Westwood can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in Westwood?
Yes, we do: our area includes Westwood and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
