Asbestos removal for Chicheley

A closer look at the materials

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.

Water tanks and flues

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

How asbestos removal works in Chicheley

Asbestos removal in Chicheley covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Every job is planned to HSE guidance, with the waste taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include textured coatings and asbestos found during building work, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.

In areas like Chicheley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Chicheley

Do you come out to small villages like Chicheley?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

Do older homes in Chicheley have asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Does weather affect the work?

That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

How quickly can you come out?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Where does the asbestos go?

It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

Looking after things afterwards

If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

Some practical advice:

  • Plan any replacement work before the removal date
  • Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
  • Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
  • Let us know where we can park

Don’ts

Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

The process

Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Outdoor removal in Chicheley is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:50pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. We test the material if needed
  3. We plan the job and send a written quote
  4. We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Before we arrive

  • Clear the way to the work area
  • Tell us about anything that is already damaged
  • Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

DIY and asbestos

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What it costs

We base our quote on:

  • Travel and parking
  • How many samples are needed
  • How much waste there is

A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
