Asbestos removal for Chalk properties

Typical jobs include textured coatings and loft water tanks, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In Chalk, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Questions from Chalk
How far is Chalk from London?
Chalk is about 22 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Chalk contain asbestos?
Any home in Chalk built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After we’ve finished in Chalk
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Chalk by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Helpful guides
What we deal with in Chalk
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For non-domestic buildings like Thamesview School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

If you let property near Gravesend station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. In older buildings across Chalk, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Your options compared
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
