For non-domestic buildings like Princes Risborough School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. In older buildings across Bledlow, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 4 miles of Bledlow. Rural removal jobs nearby often mean planning access across yards and fields.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Common questions in Bledlow
Do you cover Bledlow and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 1.3 miles east of Bledlow, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Bledlow homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Bledlow can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see

- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Bledlow, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
