About our asbestos removal in Chalfont Common
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in Chalfont Common falls into that category. Whether it’s old waste on site and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes and more.
In Chalfont Common, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Chalfont Common
Is asbestos common in Chalfont Common homes?
If your home in Chalfont Common was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, we cover Chalfont Common and the area towards Gerrards Cross station, about 2.2 miles south.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
In older properties, we often see:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
- Old flues
At a school such as Robertswood School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before booking anyone
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Suitable insurance for the work

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
