About our asbestos removal in Medmenham
Found asbestos during building work in Medmenham? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roofs and whole garages, involving flue pipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In Medmenham, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Medmenham
Could my house in Medmenham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Medmenham may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Medmenham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
For businesses and landlords in Medmenham
For managing agents and freeholders in Medmenham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Medmenham
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Textured coatings
- Floor tiles before a new floor

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

After we have finished in Medmenham
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Medmenham is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
