Asbestos removal for Tetsworth properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and textured coatings, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Tetsworth, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Tetsworth
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement water tanks in lofts
If you let property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What isn’t included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and keep everyone else out of the work area. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Outdoor removal in Tetsworth is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Getting a price
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
