For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Common questions in Milton-under-Wychwood
Do you work near Shipton station?
Yes, we cover Milton-under-Wychwood and the area towards Shipton station, about 1.1 miles east.
Do you cover small places like Milton-under-Wychwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
