FAQs for Chalksole Green
Do you come out to small villages like Chalksole Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Chalksole Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Chalksole Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Chalksole Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
