Asbestos removal in Chartham Hatch
Asbestos removal for Chartham Hatch properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include outbuildings with cement roofs and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In Chartham Hatch, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Why people call us in Chartham Hatch
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Chartham Hatch, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Any exclusions
- What category of work it is
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
