Asbestos removal in Fencott
About our asbestos removal in Fencott
Every removal job in Fencott is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and debris left from a previous job, involving floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes.
In a village like Fencott, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Read our prices page and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Outdoor removal in Fencott is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first

How to prepare

What we deal with in Fencott
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.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
In older properties in Fencott, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Any exclusions
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Avoid these
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Fencott questions
Do you work near Islip station?
Yes. Islip station is about 3.2 miles west of Fencott, and we cover both.
Do you cover Fencott from London?
We cover Fencott, about 52 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
