Asbestos removal for Terriers properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From cement water tanks in lofts and old waste on site, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and flue pipes and more.
Properties in areas like Terriers with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Removing asbestos around Terriers

At a school such as The Royal Grammar School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Terriers, near Church of Saint Francis or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

FAQs for Terriers
Is asbestos common in Terriers homes?
If your home in Terriers was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Terriers and the area around High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 1 mile south-west of Terriers, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
