Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings coming down
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings damaged by leaks
For rented flats close to Marlow station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

For businesses and landlords in Marlow
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Marlow, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If your business premises in Marlow were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear advice on your options
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Marlow questions
Do you work near Marlow station?
Yes. Marlow station is close to the centre of Marlow, and we cover the whole area.
Do older homes in Marlow have asbestos?
If your home in Marlow was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
