About our asbestos removal in Little Chart

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in Little Chart
If your business premises in Little Chart were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

FAQs for Little Chart
Do you cover Little Chart and the area around Charing station?
Yes. Charing station is about 2.1 miles north of Little Chart, and we cover both.
Could my house in Little Chart contain asbestos?
Any home in Little Chart built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
