About asbestos removal in Buckinghamshire

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Buckinghamshire falls into that category. People often contact us about garage roofs and whole garages and Artex ceilings before renovation, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.

Asbestos removal across Buckinghamshire

From Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham to small villages, Buckinghamshire has every kind of removal job. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Buckinghamshire, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common.

Aylesbury: For properties on main roads such as the A41 and A413, we plan parking and loading in advance. In older buildings across Aylesbury, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. Outdoor removal in Aylesbury is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

For businesses and landlords in Buckinghamshire

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Buckinghamshire must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

The scope of asbestos removal

A few things to be aware of:

Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Making good is normally a separate job
Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

After we’ve finished in Buckinghamshire

If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.

Book the replacement before removal
Tell us about parking and access
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Send photos of the material and the access

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.

Common questions in Buckinghamshire

Is asbestos removal licensed?

Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Should all asbestos be removed?

No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
