Typical removal jobs in Aston Rowant
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
These come up again and again:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Aston Rowant were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Helpful guides
Aston Rowant questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Aston Rowant have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
