How asbestos removal works in Chale
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Chale falls into that category. We often deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about old waste on site and floor tiles before a new floor.
In Chale, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

What else we do in Chale
Typical removal jobs in Chale
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old waste on site
- Garage roof sheets
Older buildings in Chale, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
