Asbestos removal for Whaddon
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How asbestos removal works in Whaddon
Every removal job in Whaddon is planned first: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Whether it’s floor tiles before a new floor and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and textured coatings and more.
Rural removal near Whaddon can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Whaddon
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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Going forward:
- Share any survey or test results
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Whaddon: your questions answered
Do older homes in Whaddon have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Whaddon may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Whaddon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Towns and villages near Whaddon
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Textured coatings
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Whaddon, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
