Asbestos removal in North Lee
Asbestos removal in North Lee
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old flues and textured coatings.
In a village like North Lee, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in North Lee, you have a duty to 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.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common reasons for removal jobs in North Lee
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Buckinghamshire may contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in North Lee:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old cold water tanks
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in North Lee, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
