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.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Surrey may contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Bucks Horn Oak, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Which areas and materials are covered
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Waste paperwork for every removal

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Bucks Horn Oak, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Questions from Bucks Horn Oak
Is asbestos common in Bucks Horn Oak homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bucks Horn Oak and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 1.1 miles north-west of Bucks Horn Oak, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
