Asbestos removal in Childrey
About our asbestos removal in Childrey
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Childrey. Whether it’s finds during refurbishment and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In Childrey, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Helpful guides
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Childrey
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement flues and gutters
- Cement water tanks in lofts
Older buildings in Childrey, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What paperwork you get
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Childrey questions
Could my house in Childrey contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Childrey may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can usually stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Making good is normally a separate job

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
