Asbestos removal in Charlton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. From garage roofs and whole garages and materials found mid-project, we deal with water tanks, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
In towns and villages like Charlton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Charlton
Do you cover Charlton and the area around Upper Halliford station?
Yes. Upper Halliford station is about 0.6 miles east of Charlton, and we cover both.
Could my house in Charlton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Charlton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you cover Charlton?
We do: Charlton is within the area we cover in Surrey. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- Disposal costs
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Charlton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
