- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
If you let property near Amersham station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Asbestos removal near Chesham Bois
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From debris left from a previous job and old flues, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles and more.
Homes in Chesham Bois with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Chesham Bois
Is asbestos common in Chesham Bois homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Chesham Bois from London?
We cover Chesham Bois, about 25 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
How it works
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Chesham Bois by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down

Preparing for the visit
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

For businesses and landlords in Chesham Bois

If you run a business from older premises in Chesham Bois, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
