Asbestos removal for Naphill properties
Asbestos removal in Naphill covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
Rural removal near Naphill can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Materials, one by one
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Naphill questions
Do you cover Naphill and the area around Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover Naphill and the area towards Saunderton station, about 2.1 miles west.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Naphill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
In older buildings across Naphill, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- The category of work
- How many samples are needed
- The type of material and its condition
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Where we could park
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What happens next
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Naphill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
