Asbestos removal near Ashendon
Asbestos removal in Ashendon
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. From textured coatings and broken sheets in gardens, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and water tanks and more.
Rural removal near Ashendon can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Going forward:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ashendon, you have a duty to 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.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we deal with in Ashendon
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex before plastering
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
If you let property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any exclusions
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
