Asbestos removal in Waltham Chase
Asbestos removal for Waltham Chase properties
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From garage roofs and whole garages and old flues, we deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In a village like Waltham Chase, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Waltham Chase: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Waltham Chase?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Botley station?
Yes. Botley station is about 2.7 miles south-west of Waltham Chase, and we cover both.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are typically non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It does not always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area

A closer look at the materials
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.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with power tools.
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Textured coatings
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Landlords near Botley station often time removal for when a property is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- VAT, clearly stated
- What category of work it is
What’s included, and what isn’t

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
