Asbestos removal for Leckhampstead properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Common materials are water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about materials found mid-project and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In areas like Leckhampstead, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Leckhampstead questions
Do you cover Leckhampstead from London?
Leckhampstead is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Leckhampstead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Water tanks
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Bitumen roof felt
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Typical removal jobs in Leckhampstead
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:
- Textured coatings
- Old waste on site
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Cement flues and gutters
Older buildings in Leckhampstead, near Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
