Asbestos removal near Bladon
Asbestos removal for Bladon properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Typical jobs include textured coatings and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In areas like Bladon, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Places near Bladon
Bladon: your questions answered
Do you cover Bladon from London?
We cover Bladon, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Bladon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Typical removal jobs in Bladon
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos garages
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For non-domestic buildings like Bladon Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
What your quote should include

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What paperwork you get
Choosing the right option
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:

Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

- An idea of size
- A wide shot showing where the material is
