How asbestos removal works in HP21
Found asbestos during building work in HP21? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical materials include floor tiles, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and floor tiles before a new floor.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area.

HP21: removal jobs of every size
Removal jobs across HP21 range from garage roofs in Aylesbury, Elmhurst and Southcourt to barns and outbuildings in 1 villages and hamlets. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.
Aylesbury: In older buildings across Aylesbury, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Buckinghamshire UTC, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. In winter, the light goes in Aylesbury by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Why people call us in HP21
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Materials found mid-project
- Old cold water tanks
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Duty holders and landlords in HP21
If your business premises in HP21 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
Choosing the right option
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, rather than halting work when it’s found.

Common questions in HP21
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
