What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Asbestos removal near Amersham
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos garages, involving water tanks, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In a town like Amersham, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Amersham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Questions from Amersham
Do you cover Amersham from London?
We cover Amersham, about 25 miles from central London.
Could my house in Amersham contain asbestos?
If your home in Amersham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Materials, one by one
