How asbestos removal works in The City
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and outbuildings with cement roofs, involving water tanks, floor tiles and textured coatings.
In areas like The City, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Typical removal jobs in The City
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in The City, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- What is not included
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What paperwork you get
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in The City, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
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.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in The City by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Ensure we can get to the area

The City questions
Do you cover The City and the area around Saunderton station?
Yes, we cover The City and the area towards Saunderton station, about 1.8 miles north-east.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
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.
How much does asbestos removal cost in The City?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
