Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

About our asbestos removal in The Chart
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about old cold water tanks and asbestos found during building work, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In a village like The Chart, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Questions from The Chart
Do older homes in The Chart have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover The Chart and the area around Hurst Green station?
Yes, we cover The Chart and the area towards Hurst Green station, about 1.6 miles west.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- We dispose of the waste legally and send the paperwork

What affects the price in The Chart
When we quote, we look at:
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
In older properties in The Chart, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
