Asbestos removal for Chillenden
How asbestos removal works in Chillenden
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos found during building work, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and textured coatings and more.
Rural removal near Chillenden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully

How to prepare

Common questions in Chillenden
Is asbestos common in Chillenden homes?
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.
Do you work near Aylesham station?
Yes. Aylesham station is about 1.9 miles west of Chillenden, and we cover both.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chillenden?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Chillenden, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Chillenden
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Materials found mid-project
In older buildings across Chillenden, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- What category of work it is
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Written quotes that say what’s included
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
