Asbestos removal for Marcham properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Marcham, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical jobs include textured coatings and old flues, involving cement roof sheets, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a smaller place like Marcham, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Marcham
Do you cover Marcham and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 4.4 miles east of Marcham, and we cover both.
How far is Marcham from London?
Marcham is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

After we have finished in Marcham
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access

Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Sometimes damage forces the issue.
These are some of the things we deal with in Marcham:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
