Asbestos removal for Furzton
Asbestos removal near Furzton
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. From old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment, we cover flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings and more.
Properties in towns and villages like Furzton with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Furzton: your questions answered
Could my house in Furzton contain asbestos?
Any home in Furzton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Furzton from London?
We cover Furzton, about 45 miles from central London.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
- Debris left from a previous job
- Artex ceilings before renovation
In a school like Barleyhurst Park Primary, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Furzton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

What else we do in Furzton
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us

Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
- How many samples are needed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
The scope of asbestos removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- 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 you book.
