Asbestos help in Chesterton
Can I do it myself?
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.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Chesterton questions
Do you cover small places like Chesterton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Bicester Village station?
Yes. Bicester Village station is about 1.7 miles east of Chesterton, and we cover both.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you cover Chesterton?
We do: our area includes Chesterton and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
