Asbestos removal in Ellesborough
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Ellesborough. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are old waste on site and outbuildings with cement roofs.
Rural removal near Ellesborough can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Ellesborough: your questions answered
Do you work near Little Kimble station?
Yes. Little Kimble station is about 0.9 miles west of Ellesborough, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Ellesborough?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Duty holders and landlords in Ellesborough
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Ellesborough is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Before we arrive

- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
