Asbestos removal in Hundridge
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical materials include cement soffits, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and debris left from a previous job.
In a village like Hundridge, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hundridge
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex before plastering
If you let property near Great Missenden station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
Before you book anyone
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What is not included
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
After we’ve finished in Hundridge
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Keeping things safe:
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Hundridge: your questions answered
How far is Hundridge from London?
Hundridge is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What if my house is newer?
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.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
