Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions
Older homes across Ascott-under-Wychwood may have coatings added during past renovations.
