What it might be made of

Textured coatings

We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Insulating board and lagging

Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.

How it works

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In winter, the light goes in Chidham by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

  1. Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
  2. We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
  3. A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
  4. On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
  5. We clean the area and send the consignment note

Before we arrive

  • Let us know where we can park
  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Common questions in Chidham

Could my house in Chidham contain asbestos?

If your home in Chidham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Chidham from London?

Chidham is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Is asbestos removal licensed?

It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Do I need to move out?

For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

What affects the price in Chidham

These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:

  • The quantity or area
  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The number of samples or the size of the building
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space

The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Doing it yourself?

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

  • Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
