Bovingdon Green questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Bovingdon Green contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bovingdon Green
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Buckinghamshire may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
For non-domestic buildings like Spinfield School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Options to consider in Bovingdon Green
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises

Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
