How asbestos removal works in Charney Bassett
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with cement soffits, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
In Charney Bassett, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Charney Bassett
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Charney Bassett, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Charney Bassett questions
How far is Charney Bassett from London?
Charney Bassett is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Charney Bassett homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Charney Bassett?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
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.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
