Asbestos removal in Chipstead
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and old cold water tanks, including water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes.
In Chipstead, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, ready to go to a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In winter, the light goes in Chipstead by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Mention any damage before we arrive

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.

Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Chipstead
Do you work on properties in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Chipstead and the area around Dunton Green station?
Yes. Dunton Green station is about 1.2 miles north-east of Chipstead, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are normally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chipstead, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
