How asbestos removal works in Chestfield
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about asbestos garages and Artex ceilings before renovation, involving floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In Chestfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

If you run a business from older premises in Chestfield, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Typical removal jobs in Chestfield
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.

- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For properties on main roads such as the A2990, we plan parking and loading in advance.

- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What is not included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work

Chestfield questions
Do you cover small places like Chestfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Chestfield contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chestfield may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
