Asbestos removal for Holmer Green properties
In homes, in Holmer Green as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and finds during refurbishment, we cover water tanks, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes and more.
In areas like Holmer Green, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts

Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.

What else we do in Holmer Green
For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you manage or own a block in Holmer Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we deal with in Holmer Green
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Landlords near Great Missenden station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Holmer Green questions
Do you work near Great Missenden station?
Yes, we cover Holmer Green and the area towards Great Missenden station, about 2.7 miles north.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
