How asbestos removal works in Three Chimneys

In homes, in Three Chimneys as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and cement flues and gutters, involving gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.

Rural removal near Three Chimneys can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Three Chimneys

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:

Finds during refurbishment
Artex ceilings before renovation
Garage roof sheets
Debris left from a previous job

If you let property near Headcorn station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

Responsibilities for owners

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Doing it yourself?

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Materials, one by one

Insulating board and lagging

That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Water tanks and flues

Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.

Which option is right?

Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
