Asbestos removal in Grendon Underwood

Common reasons for removal jobs in Grendon Underwood
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old flues
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Older buildings in Grendon Underwood, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Duty holders and landlords in Grendon Underwood
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Grendon Underwood questions
Do you cover small places like Grendon Underwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Grendon Underwood contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Grendon Underwood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you cover Grendon Underwood?
Yes. We cover Grendon Underwood and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
