About our asbestos removal in Turnfurlong
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. Common materials are water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about asbestos found during building work and old waste on site.
In a smaller place like Turnfurlong, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Turnfurlong
Could my house in Turnfurlong contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
