Helpful guides
Asbestos removal in Thame
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Common materials are flue pipes, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old sheds and coal bunkers and floor tiles before a new floor.
Homes and small businesses in places like Thame often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If your business premises in Thame were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Thame
How far is Thame from London?

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After we have finished:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
- Send photos of the material and the access
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

What it costs
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
