Common questions in Ford
Do you cover Ford and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Ford and the area towards Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.8 miles west.
How far is Ford from London?
We cover Ford, about 39 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Asbestos removal near Ford
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Ford: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles.

From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In a village like Ford, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once we’re done:
- Share any survey or test results
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
