About our asbestos removal in Chiddingly
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From old cold water tanks and old flues, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings and more.
In places like Chiddingly, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In winter, the light goes in Chiddingly by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
