How asbestos removal works in Upper Eddington
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving floor tiles, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In areas like Upper Eddington, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

The scope of asbestos removal
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

After we have finished in Upper Eddington
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Duty holders and landlords in Upper Eddington
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.

Upper Eddington: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Upper Eddington homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Upper Eddington may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Upper Eddington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not usually affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
