Asbestos removal in Aston
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll explain what applies to your job in Aston. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old flues.
In Aston, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Other services in Aston
Aston: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Aston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Aston from London?
We cover Aston, about 62 miles from central London.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Afterwards
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Share any survey or test results
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Removing asbestos around Aston
Aston is about 4 miles south of Witney, in Oxfordshire. In Aston, we hear from homeowners, landlords and businesses. We cover all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Aston to Oxford (12 miles away).
Older buildings in Aston, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
We cover removal jobs across OX18 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Cote Road, Saxel Close and Woodbridge Close, and asbestos removal is available on all of them. Other places close to Aston we cover include Bampton (2 miles west), Weald (2 miles west), Curbridge (3 miles north), Black Bourton (4 miles west) and Clanfield (4 miles west). Further out, we also cover Oxford (12 miles east), Didcot (14 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles east), Witney (4 miles north), Carterton (5 miles north-west) and Wantage (10 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Longworth Hospital (5.7 miles south-west) and Bampton Castle (2.1 miles west).
Why people call us in Aston
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Asbestos found during building work
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
At a school such as Aston and Cote Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
