Asbestos Flue Pipe Removal in Kingston Upon Thames and Surrounding Areas
In need of asbestos flue pipe removal?
Here at Key Asbestos Services Ltd, we are professional asbestos contractors that offer a range of services across Kingston Upon Thames and the Surrounding Areas.
We are frequently tasked with removing asbestos cement flue pipes from properties across the region. Flue pipes often run from boiler cupboards and then may be boxed in a service riser, chimney or are visible outside the house or run into the loft and through the roof.
We need to access the pipe run to remove the sections of cement pipework that are held in by brackets screwed into brickwork, so this may require opening a service riser or chimney.
Asbestos Cold Water Tank Removal
Cold water tanks will often be found in the same property as an asbestos cement flue.
These can be removed whole where possible. Flue pipes and cold water tanks are both asbestos cement and therefore a bonded material with a lower likelihood of fibre release.
They will require removal in advance of refurbishment works by an asbestos contractor if likely to be disturbed. If damaged, these materials should be removed or encapsulated.

FAQS
Older boilers, flues and their seals and rope gaskets can contain asbestos, as it was valued for its heat resistance. If you have an older heating system, it's worth having it checked before any removal or replacement work disturbs those components.
Some older flue pipes are made from asbestos cement, particularly in properties from the mid-20th century. You can't tell for certain by sight, so sampling is the way to confirm it. We can test the flue and let you know before any work goes ahead.
No — asbestos is heat-resistant and doesn't burn, which is exactly why it was used around flues, boilers and heat sources. That said, heat damage and general deterioration can still cause it to break down and release fibres over time, so condition still matters.
