Asbestos removal near Ley Hill
Asbestos removal for Ley Hill properties
Every removal job in Ley Hill is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and loft water tanks.
Rural removal near Ley Hill can mean longer distances to carry waste, 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.

DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in Ley Hill, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Ley Hill properties and asbestos removal
Ley Hill is about 2 miles east of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Ley Hill is part of the area we cover, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. We cover all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. Our area stretches from Ley Hill to London (25 miles away).
In older properties in Ley Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. For non-domestic buildings like Ley Hill School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Ley Hill is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

How we price asbestos removal
What changes the cost:

- How many samples are needed
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Photos that help

- The access route
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

Helpful guides
Common questions in Ley Hill
How far is Ley Hill from London?
We cover Ley Hill, about 25 miles from central London.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Why people call us in Ley Hill
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Ley Hill:
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
For rentals close to Chalfont & Latimer station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Some practical advice:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
