Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Other services in Blackbird Leys
After we have finished in Blackbird Leys
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we deal with in Blackbird Leys
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
These come up again and again:
- Old waste on site
- Asbestos garages
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
At a school such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
