Where asbestos turns up
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
In older buildings across Lower Assendon, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- What is not included
- VAT, clearly stated
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Lower Assendon, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Lower Assendon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Common questions in Lower Assendon
Could my house in Lower Assendon contain asbestos?
Any home in Lower Assendon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Lower Assendon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.

After we’ve finished in Lower Assendon
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why people choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
