What we deal with in Olney
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:
- Materials found mid-project
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Olney, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- VAT, clearly stated
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Questions from Olney
How far is Olney from London?
Olney is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Olney contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Olney may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in Olney?
We do: our area includes Olney and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Olney by about 3:50pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Duty holders and landlords in Olney
If your business premises in Olney were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Olney, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
