Chegworth questions
Is asbestos common in Chegworth homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chegworth and the area around Harrietsham station?
Yes, we cover Chegworth and the area towards Harrietsham station, about 1 mile east.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How asbestos removal works in Chegworth
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Chegworth: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and flue pipes.
In Chegworth, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After the job
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Some limits to bear in mind:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks

- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Asbestos cement sheets

Why people call us in Chegworth
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
