Asbestos removal for Upton
Asbestos removal in Upton
Every removal job in Upton is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include Artex ceilings before renovation and materials found mid-project, including floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Upton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The survey scope
- How easy it is to reach
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- The access route
- A clear close-up

What we deal with in Upton
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Finds during refurbishment
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex before plastering
For non-domestic buildings like Stone Church of England Combined School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Common questions in Upton
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.
Do you cover Upton and the area around Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Upton and the area towards Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 2.5 miles north.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
