About our asbestos removal in Bledington
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about old waste on site and outbuildings with cement roofs, including floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Bledington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Outdoor removal in Bledington is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:30pm.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bledington must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bledington
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are some of the things we deal with in Bledington:
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Garage roof sheets
Landlords near Kingham station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
