About our asbestos removal in Berinsfield
Every removal job in Berinsfield is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Typical materials include textured coatings, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are textured coatings and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In a village like Berinsfield, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

How we price asbestos removal
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Parking and access charges
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed

Photos often save us a visit:
- An overall view
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
Include any existing survey or test when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Berinsfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Berinsfield from London?
We cover Berinsfield, about 48 miles from central London.
Do you work near Culham station?
Yes, we cover Berinsfield and the area towards Culham station, about 2.8 miles west.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How we work
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Berinsfield by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Clear the way to the work area
How to get a quote

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Typical removal jobs in Berinsfield
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos garages
- Old waste on site
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Berinsfield, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
Some practical advice:
- File the consignment note
- Share any survey or test results
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
