Asbestos removal for Stanton Harcourt
Your questions about asbestos removal in Stanton Harcourt
Could my house in Stanton Harcourt contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Stanton Harcourt can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Stanton Harcourt from London?
Stanton Harcourt is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are usually non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Asbestos removal near Stanton Harcourt
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about textured coatings and old waste on site, involving cement soffits, floor tiles and textured coatings.

Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
