Asbestos removal for Banbury properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and finds during refurbishment.
In a town like Banbury, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, generally before renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- File the consignment note
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
