Places near Binsey
For businesses and landlords in Binsey
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
The process
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Binsey is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For rentals close to Oxford station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.

What affects the price in Binsey
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Travel and parking
- How many samples are needed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Don’ts
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Binsey: your questions answered
Do you cover Binsey and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 1.6 miles south-east of Binsey, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Binsey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What’s included, and what is not
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
