How asbestos removal works in SL7
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical materials include textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and Artex ceilings before renovation.
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
What you will pay
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Domestic and commercial work
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Landmarks near Marlow
In Marlow, that can mean a property near Congregational Church, Butcher's Tap and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station close to the centre of Marlow: Marlow station. Nearby you’ll also find Eden (4 miles north) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north). The countryside around Marlow includes Carpenter's Wood.
Where we work in SL7
Across SL7, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Marlow: At a school such as Holy Trinity Church of England (Aided) School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. In older properties in Marlow, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. Late-December sunset in Marlow is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.

Your options compared
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common questions in SL7
Do you work in SL7?
Yes. We cover SL7 and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
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.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- 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
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
