Questions from Drayton Parslow
Do you cover small places like Drayton Parslow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Drayton Parslow homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Drayton Parslow?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Asbestos removal in Drayton Parslow
In homes, in Drayton Parslow as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. From cement flues and gutters and textured coatings, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks and more.
In areas like Drayton Parslow, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Typical removal jobs in Drayton Parslow
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
In older properties, we often see:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Textured coatings
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Asbestos garages
For rentals close to Bletchley station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What is not included
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. 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.
The scope of asbestos removal
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
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
