Uffington questions
How far is Uffington from London?
We cover Uffington, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Uffington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often 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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
In a school like Uffington Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Before booking anyone
- What category of work it is
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
After we’ve finished in Uffington
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Options to consider in Uffington
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
