What it might be made of

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Asbestos removal in Chalgrove

Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks and more.

In places like Chalgrove, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Service details

Landlords, managing agents and employers

If your business premises in Chalgrove were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

For managing agents and freeholders in Chalgrove, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Prices and what affects them

What changes the cost:

Licensed or non-licensed
How much waste there is
The size of the job
Location, parking and any London charges

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Photos that help

A few photos can save a site visit:

Damaged areas
A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Where we could park
How we’d reach it

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Should you do it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Questions from Chalgrove

Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.

Do older homes in Chalgrove have asbestos?

Any home in Chalgrove built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Chalgrove?

Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

Can I put asbestos in a skip?

No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.

How dangerous is asbestos?

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.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Your options compared

DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
