About our asbestos removal in Buckingham
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are cement roof sheets, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and asbestos found during building work.
In areas like Buckingham, typical jobs are garage roofs, flues and Artex, typically before renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you manage or own a block in Buckingham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once we are done:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Buckingham is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we work. We work right across the region, from Buckingham to Oxford (about 20 miles away).
On busy roads like the A421 and A422, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted. In older properties in Buckingham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
In older properties, we often see:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old cold water tanks
- Textured coatings
- Asbestos garages
In a school like George Grenville Academy, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Buckingham questions
Could my house in Buckingham contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Buckingham from London?
We cover Buckingham, about 51 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
