How asbestos removal works in Chilgrove
If your builder has found suspect material in Chilgrove, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and garage roof sheets, including cement soffits, textured coatings and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Chilgrove, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Questions from Chilgrove
Do you come out to small villages like Chilgrove?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Chilgrove from London?
We cover Chilgrove, about 51 miles from central London.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Chilgrove?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
