Questions from Chaldon
Do you work near Caterham station?
Yes. Caterham station is about 1.2 miles east of Chaldon, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Chaldon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How can I get a price?

Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Duty holders and landlords in Chaldon
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chaldon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How it works
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
