Asbestos removal for Buckland
Asbestos removal in Buckland
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. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and cement flues and gutters, involving water tanks, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Buckland can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Keeping things safe:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Questions from Buckland
How far is Buckland from London?
Buckland is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Buckland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What we deal with in Buckland
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roof sheets
For non-domestic buildings like Buckland Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
