About our asbestos removal in Great Missenden
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Whether it’s broken sheets in gardens and old floor tiles and black adhesive, we cover gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and cement soffits.
Rural removal near Great Missenden can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Great Missenden
Do you come out to small villages like Great Missenden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Great Missenden have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Great Missenden can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
