Professional Asbestos Removal in Kingston upon Thames and all Surrounding Areas
If you need asbestos removed from your domestic or commercial premises, you are in safe hands with Key Asbestos Services Ltd. We are professional contractors fully qualified to safely remove asbestos-containing materials, giving you peace of mind that your building is safe to occupy.
Asbestos – now banned in the construction industry – is commonly found in roofs, textured ceiling coatings (Artex), floor tiles and wall and ceiling plaster. It is often mixed in with other materials, making its presence difficult to detect.
Typically harmless in solid form, asbestos only poses a risk when disturbed – this is due to the microscopic fibres that are easily ingested, often resulting in harmful health complications. Therefore, it is vital to be aware of the presence of asbestos in your property and seek the advice of certified contractors before embarking on building and renovation work.
Asbestos Abatement
We carry out the safe removal of asbestos garage roofs and sheds, floor tiles, water tanks, flue pipes and asbestos cement panelling using our UKATA trained operatives. Works are carried out diligently, on time, at a reasonable cost and with the site left clean afterwards. Each project, large or small, is approached with the same level of professionalism every time.
Asbestos Disposal
We also carry out the collection and disposal of asbestos materials that have already been removed. Where licensed asbestos materials such as pipe lagging or asbestos insulation board (AIB) are involved, we can manage and coordinate the required remediation works through our established licensed asbestos contractor. All licensed removal and associated disposal is carried out in accordance with the relevant regulations.

Asbestos Removal Contractors
We carry out and project manage the removal of any asbestos-containing materials from garage roof sheets and Artex to floor tiles, asbestos board and asbestos pipe insulation.
We also carry out full demolition of garages and outbuildings, often after having removed asbestos roofs and cladding. We carry out much of our work following recommendations by building surveyors, estate agents, previous domestic clients and property companies who have used us repeatedly.
Asbestos Removal Projects
We commonly carry out removal of asbestos garage roofs and ceilings, asbestos outbuildings, asbestos flue pipes, floor tiles, door linings, boiler cupboard panelling, pipe lagging, cement walls, as well as encapsulation and removal of textured coating and Artex ceilings.
As a licensed waste carrier, we also pick up asbestos waste before transporting it to a licensed waste site. We operate with an experienced and skilled team, allowing us to be competitive when dealing with domestic and small-scale commercial projects and larger-scale commercial and industrial projects.
We can draw on the necessary resources and expertise to fit the project’s requirements and deliver efficiently, on time and at a competitive cost. Recent works undertaken have included removing asbestos cement roofs for both a commercial garage and a warehouse before demolition. We regularly carry out the removal of Artex and textured coating to domestic and commercial properties, often in advance of refurbishment works.
Safety is at the core of how our removals services are carried out, with all work carried out in line with current legislation as set out most recently in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Is it Asbestos?
If you have material that you know or suspect contains asbestos, please give us a call and we will look to find a suitable solution and, if possible, put forward a quotation.
Asbestos Removal or Asbestos Encapsulation
If it is asbestos, we will look at the best course of action, which may be removal. We consider whether anything will disturb the asbestos and build an understanding of the circumstances before we put forward a quotation. Asbestos comes in numerous forms, and the risks associated vary depending on several factors, such as the type of material, the type of asbestos it contains and its condition. Only once we have assessed these factors can we determine whether encapsulation or removal is the best option.
FAQS
Don't touch or disturb it — leave the area as it is and arrange to have the material identified and assessed. If it's intact and in good condition, it may only need managing rather than removing. Our team can inspect it and advise on the safest way forward.
Licensed work and certain notifiable non-licensed work must be reported to the HSE before it begins, while some lower-risk non-licensed jobs don't require notification. Knowing which category a job falls into matters, and we make sure the correct process is followed every time.
Responsibility usually rests with the property owner or duty holder, who must ensure the work is carried out safely and legally. Using accredited, experienced contractors is how that duty is met, giving you confidence the job has been handled correctly and compliantly.
For small, non-licensed jobs it can sometimes be possible to remain while the work area is fully sealed off, but for larger or higher-risk removals it's safer to stay clear. We'll always advise on the right approach for your particular job before we start.
Where possible, clear the area of furniture and belongings and keep people and pets well away. Beyond that, most of the preparation is ours to handle — our team seals and controls the space before any work begins, so the setup is managed properly.
Non-licensed removal requires proper training and competence, such as UKATA certification, while higher-risk licensed work requires an HSE licence. We're P402 and UKATA accredited and handle non-licensed removal ourselves, working alongside licensed contractors where a licence is required.
