A closer look at the materials
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
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Textured coatings
For properties on main roads such as the A4095 and B4100, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get
- The method and controls
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Options to consider in Bicester
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

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 repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Bicester, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate

Your questions about asbestos removal in Bicester
How far is Bicester from London?
We cover Bicester, about 53 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Bicester homes?
Any home in Bicester built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How we work
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In winter, the light goes in Bicester by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
