Questions from Church Hanborough
Do you cover Church Hanborough and the area around Hanborough station?
Yes, we cover Church Hanborough and the area towards Hanborough station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
Do older homes in Church Hanborough have asbestos?
Any home in Church Hanborough built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Church Hanborough?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

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. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Records for your files
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work done to the regulations
Take a look at how we quote or our cost guide.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Typical jobs in Church Hanborough include:
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
At a school such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
How we work
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Church Hanborough by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
