How asbestos removal works in Henton
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and Artex before plastering, we deal with water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits and more.
In Henton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Henton: your questions answered
Do you cover Henton and the area around Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 2.2 miles east of Henton, and we cover both.
Could my house in Henton contain asbestos?
Any home in Henton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Why people call us in Henton
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
Older buildings in Henton, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
