Shreding Green: your questions answered
Do you work near Langley station?
Yes. Langley station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Shreding Green, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Shreding Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you test the air for asbestos?
Clearance air testing after licensed removal must be done by an independent analyst accredited by UKAS. Ask us and we’ll explain what applies to your job.
What we deal with in Shreding Green
Building products contained asbestos until the 1999 ban, so materials in homes and buildings across Buckinghamshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Floor tiles and black adhesive
- Artex ceilings before plastering, sanding or drilling
- Corrugated roof sheets
- Soffit boards
For an older property in Shreding Green, whether near Church of St Peter or not, get suspect materials tested before you start.

Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- If the material is in a hard-to-reach place, access may need planning
- Photos cannot confirm asbestos
- Testing does not look for anything else, so it isn’t a substitute for a survey before major work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

What else we do in Shreding Green
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Choosing the right option
Testing or a survey? Testing checks the materials you’re worried about; a survey checks the whole building or work area. Small jobs normally just need a test. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
