Asbestos removal for Benson properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and garage roof sheets.
Homes in Benson with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Benson
Do you cover Benson from London?
Benson is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

After we have finished in Benson
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Weighing up your options
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East
- Work done to the regulations

Duty holders and landlords in Benson
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Benson
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
In older properties in Benson, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
