How asbestos removal works in Great Brickhill

We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about garage roof sheets and textured coatings.

In Great Brickhill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Great Brickhill must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

What happens next

If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.

Going forward:

  • Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
  • Share any survey or test results
  • Let us know where we can park
  • Send photos of the material and the access

Don’ts

Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Questions from Great Brickhill

Do older homes in Great Brickhill have asbestos?

Any home in Great Brickhill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you work near Bow Brickhill station?

Yes. Bow Brickhill station is about 2.9 miles north of Great Brickhill, and we cover both.

Can you help a business or landlord?

We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.

Could my home contain asbestos?

If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Options to consider in Great Brickhill

Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

What it might be made of

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Asbestos cement

Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Why people call us in Great Brickhill

Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:

  • Old cold water tanks
  • Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
  • Asbestos garages
  • Old waste on site

In older buildings across Great Brickhill, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

What to look for in a quote

  • How the work will be done, and the controls used
  • That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
  • Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
