Asbestos removal for Stonor
Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Stonor, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

About our asbestos removal in Stonor
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include textured coatings and old cold water tanks, involving gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles.
In a village like Stonor, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In winter, the light goes in Stonor by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

Common questions in Stonor
How far is Stonor from London?
We cover Stonor, about 37 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Stonor?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Photos that help
The most useful photos are:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route
Every job is quoted in writing. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.

Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
