About our asbestos removal in Charing Heath
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are materials found mid-project and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In Charing Heath, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Charing Heath, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Charing Heath
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Charing Heath from London?
Charing Heath is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Charing Heath
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Textured coatings
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos garages
In older buildings across Charing Heath, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
