Asbestos removal in Charndon
Asbestos removal for Charndon properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and textured coatings, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In Charndon, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Looking after things afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
A few practical points:
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and use controls to keep dust down. In winter, the light goes in Charndon by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Typical removal jobs in Charndon
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Charndon:
- Old flues
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos found during building work
In older properties in Charndon, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Questions from Charndon
Do you cover small places like Charndon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Charndon homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Charndon may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
