Asbestos removal near Chaddleworth
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos removal near Chaddleworth
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that is the case. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about textured coatings and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In Chaddleworth, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Chaddleworth: your questions answered
How far is Chaddleworth from London?
Chaddleworth is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
The process
At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Chaddleworth is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why people choose us
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Written quotes that say what’s included
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Why people call us in Chaddleworth
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old flues
In older buildings across Chaddleworth, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Before you book anyone
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What category of work it is
- If the price includes VAT
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
