Asbestos removal for Ardington properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. Common materials are cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and cement flues and gutters.
In areas like Ardington, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
How we work
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Outdoor removal in Ardington is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 4:00pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Ardington, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Ardington questions
Do you come out to small villages like Ardington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Ardington homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ardington can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Ardington?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Ardington?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: 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.
Why people call us in Ardington
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Textured coatings
In older properties in Ardington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
