Questions from Lower Heyford
Do you come out to small villages like Lower Heyford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Lower Heyford from London?
Lower Heyford is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in Lower Heyford?
Yes. We cover Lower Heyford and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
