About our asbestos removal in Bletchingdon
Every removal job in Bletchingdon is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Whether it’s flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In Bletchingdon, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
If you run a business from older premises in Bletchingdon, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we deal with in Bletchingdon
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Bletchingdon, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- What isn’t included
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Common questions in Bletchingdon
Could my house in Bletchingdon contain asbestos?
If your home in Bletchingdon was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Bletchingdon and the area around Tackley station?
Yes. Tackley station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Bletchingdon, and we cover both.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

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
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Going forward:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
The scope of asbestos removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
