About our asbestos removal in Taplow
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. People often contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor, involving textured coatings, cement soffits and floor tiles.
Rural removal near Taplow can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Taplow
Do you cover small places like Taplow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Taplow contain asbestos?
Any home in Taplow built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Taplow?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
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 does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- Access to the area
- Material and condition
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Step by step
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Taplow by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Clear advice on your options

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
A few practical points:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Share any survey or test results
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
