Asbestos removal for Swanbourne properties
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. From broken sheets in gardens and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we deal with flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Swanbourne can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as 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.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Milton Keynes built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
- Artex before plastering
In older buildings across Swanbourne, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Swanbourne questions
How far is Swanbourne from London?
Swanbourne is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Swanbourne?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The survey scope
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Duty holders and landlords in Swanbourne
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
