Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Clear written quotes
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
The scope of asbestos removal
The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
After we have finished in Southcourt
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

FAQs for Southcourt
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes. Aylesbury station is about 0.7 miles north of Southcourt, and we cover both.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
