About our asbestos removal in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and people typically contact us about outbuildings with cement roofs and garage roofs and whole garages.
In areas like Ascott-under-Wychwood, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
In older properties in Ascott-under-Wychwood, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
