Need asbestos removal in Chilton?
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For non-domestic buildings like Chilton Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Asbestos removal for Chilton properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Chilton, stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. Whether it’s asbestos garages and floor tiles before a new floor, we cover flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Chilton with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
- The number of samples or the size of the building
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
What happens
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Chilton by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- 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
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

Towns and villages near Chilton
Chilton: your questions answered
Do you work near Ramsgate station?
Yes. Ramsgate station is about 0.9 miles north-east of Chilton, and we cover both.
Could my house in Chilton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chilton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do you cover Chilton?
Yes, we do: our area includes Chilton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
