About our asbestos removal in Marlow Common
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From outbuildings with cement roofs and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement soffits, flue pipes and water tanks and more.
In a village like Marlow Common, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Typical removal jobs in Marlow Common
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Buckinghamshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Artex before plastering
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
At a school such as Spinfield School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

FAQs for Marlow Common
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Marlow Common and the area around Marlow station?
Yes, we cover Marlow Common and the area towards Marlow station, about 1.9 miles east.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state

- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

After the job
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
Avoid these
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
