For non-domestic buildings like St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Older buildings in Chinnor, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. Chinnor is within about 3 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:

- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
Common materials
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive

- Garage and shed roofs
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Chinnor: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Chinnor homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chinnor may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Chinnor and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes, we cover Chinnor and the area towards Princes Risborough station, about 3.1 miles north-east.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Chinnor were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Chinnor
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex before plastering
For rentals close to Princes Risborough station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
