Butler's Cross properties and asbestos removal
Butler's Cross is about 4 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We work across Butler's Cross and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. We work in all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. Our area stretches from Butler's Cross to Oxford (about 19 miles away).
If you let property near Little Kimble station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal. At a school such as John Colet School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Parts of the Chilterns National Landscape are within about 2 miles of Butler's Cross; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Asbestos removal in Butler's Cross
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about cement flues and gutters and textured coatings.
In a village like Butler's Cross, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in Butler's Cross, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Butler's Cross
Is asbestos common in Butler's Cross homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Butler's Cross can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Butler's Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Butler's Cross?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
