Asbestos removal in WD6: what to expect
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. People often contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and materials found mid-project, including water tanks, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork

After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
- File the consignment note
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in WD6, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork.

The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:

- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
WD6: your questions answered
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you cover WD6?
Yes, we do: our area includes WD6 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
