About our asbestos removal in Monks Risborough
In homes, in Monks Risborough as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and cement flues and gutters, including gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings.
In a village like Monks Risborough, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Loft water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex ceilings before renovation
For non-domestic buildings like Princes Risborough Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
