FAQs for Higher Denham
Do you cover Higher Denham and the area around Denham Golf Club station?
Yes. Denham Golf Club station is close to the centre of Higher Denham, and we cover the whole area.
Could my house in Higher Denham contain asbestos?
Any home in Higher Denham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

What else we do in Higher Denham
What it might be made of
Cement sheets
We sample from the edge of a sheet, without standing on the roof, as asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
Boards and panels
Some boards are insulating board, which is higher risk. A test tells you which.
After the job
If asbestos is found, we’ll explain your options: it may be left, covered or removed, depending on your plans.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep the results for future work or a sale
- Clear access to the area
- If tiles and adhesive are both exposed, mention it
- Leave the material undisturbed until we have sampled it
Things not to do
Get the result before work is booked, so you can plan properly.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
HSE’s advice is for a competent person to take samples, because taking a sample disturbs the material.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Answers trades need before starting
- Boiler cupboard panels
- Tiles found under carpet
- Something broken during building work
If your home is one of the older properties in Higher Denham, near St Mark's Hall or elsewhere, test any suspect materials before renovation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Survey methods in line with HSG264
- VAT, clearly stated
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether extra samples cost more
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
