Common questions in Chalksole Green
Do older homes in Chalksole Green have asbestos?
Any home in Chalksole Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chalksole Green from London?
We cover Chalksole Green, about 62 miles from central London.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Asbestos survey in Chalksole Green
Plenty of older buildings, in Chalksole Green as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you are in. Common materials are floor tiles, garage roofs and pipe lagging, and people typically contact us about kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects and demolition of garages, extensions and buildings.
Village houses like those in Chalksole Green have often been extended and altered over time, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Pipe lagging
Lagging on older pipes and boilers can contain asbestos and releases fibres easily. Work on it is licensed.
Floor tiles and adhesive
Tiles and adhesive can be sampled separately, because one may contain asbestos when the other doesn’t.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What happens next
If there are areas we couldn’t reach, the report lists them clearly, and should be presumed to contain asbestos until they’re checked.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the survey before booking builders
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep pets and children out of the way on the day
Avoid these
Do not take samples yourself before the survey: sampling is part of the survey, done with controls to keep dust down.
Be clear about the work you are planning, so nothing in the work area is left out of scope.

Common reasons for surveys in Chalksole Green
Contractors working on buildings need to know where asbestos is before they start. HSE’s campaigns aimed at tradespeople make this point repeatedly, and a survey report gives them that information.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Buying a property built before 2000
- Public and community buildings
- The communal parts of blocks of flats
- Surveys requested by builders before work
Planning work on an older building in Chalksole Green, whether near Church of St Anthony the Martyr or elsewhere? Survey the areas you are working on before work starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- Areas included and excluded
- The report contents
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- A survey identifies asbestos; it doesn’t remove it
- A refurbishment and demolition survey needs the areas to be empty, so plan it around the building’s use
- A management survey does not open up walls, floors or ceilings, so it won’t do before building work
