About our asbestos removal in Charlton
Asbestos removal in Charlton covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings, and people typically contact us about textured coatings and outbuildings with cement roofs.
Properties in areas like Charlton with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Charlton
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Charlton from London?
Charlton is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Charlton?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.

For businesses and landlords in Charlton
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Why people call us in Charlton
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Charlton, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
