Asbestos removal in Moreton
Asbestos removal in Moreton
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include finds during refurbishment and broken sheets in gardens, involving flue pipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Moreton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Moreton
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
If you let property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Questions from Moreton
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Moreton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- The access route

- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
You’ll get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Good to know
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
