Asbestos removal for Edgcott
Asbestos removal for Edgcott properties
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From textured coatings and old cold water tanks, we cover water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
In places like Edgcott, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Edgcott
Do you cover Edgcott from London?
We cover Edgcott, about 48 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Edgcott have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Edgcott may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Edgcott
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Grendon Underwood Combined School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Any exclusions
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
For businesses and landlords in Edgcott
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
