Common questions in Towersey
Do you cover Towersey and the area around Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Towersey and the area towards Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2 miles north.
Is asbestos common in Towersey homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Towersey may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Towersey
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
Landlords near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The method and controls
- What is not included
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Bitumen and felt
