Asbestos removal for Lee Common
About our asbestos removal in Lee Common
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From old waste on site and old cold water tanks, we cover water tanks, floor tiles and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Lee Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Typical removal jobs in Lee Common
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old waste on site
If you let property near Great Missenden station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Questions from Lee Common
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Lee Common contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
