At a school such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Landlords near Herne Bay station often time removal for when a property is empty. Chitty is within about 4 miles of the coast, where exposed sites can be windy, so outdoor removal is planned around the forecast.

FAQs for Chitty
Do you come out to small villages like Chitty?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Chitty homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chitty may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Chitty?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
