Asbestos removal for Chartway Street properties
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like Chartway Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

If you manage or own a block in Chartway Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Common questions in Chartway Street
Is asbestos common in Chartway Street homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chartway Street and the area around Harrietsham station?
Yes. Harrietsham station is about 3 miles north-east of Chartway Street, and we cover both.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
