About our asbestos removal in Middle Assendon
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. From Artex ceilings before renovation and garage roofs and whole garages, we deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and water tanks and more.
In Middle Assendon, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What affects the price in Middle Assendon
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Middle Assendon, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Middle Assendon questions
Could my house in Middle Assendon contain asbestos?
If your home in Middle Assendon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Middle Assendon from London?
Middle Assendon is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
