Asbestos help in Chessington
Why people call us in Chessington
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
- Asbestos garages
- Finds during refurbishment
At a school such as Castle Hill Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Asbestos removal near Chessington
Asbestos removal in Chessington covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical materials include cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and old flues.
In London neighbourhoods like Chessington, garages and outbuildings are often reached through the house or a rear lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Records for your files
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
