Asbestos removal in Chilworth
About our asbestos removal in Chilworth
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and garage roofs and whole garages, involving flue pipes, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Chilworth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Chilworth questions
Do you come out to small villages like Chilworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Chilworth and the area around Swaythling station?
Yes, we cover Chilworth and the area towards Swaythling station, about 1.9 miles south-east.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Chilworth?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement flues and gutters
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Chilworth, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
