Questions from Puttenham
How far is Puttenham from London?
Puttenham is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Puttenham and the area around Wanborough station?
Yes. Wanborough station is about 1.6 miles north of Puttenham, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Asbestos removal for Puttenham properties
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Puttenham falls into that category. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving water tanks, cement soffits and floor tiles.
In a village like Puttenham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Why people call us in Puttenham

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
At a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.

For businesses and landlords in Puttenham

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
