Weighing up your options
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Across London and the South East
- No removal until we know what it is
- Houses, flats and business premises

What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Things not to do
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Blewbury
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
For rentals close to Didcot Parkway station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
What to look for in a quote
- The documents you will receive
- The method and controls
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Blewbury
How far is Blewbury from London?
We cover Blewbury, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you cover Blewbury and the area around Didcot Parkway station?
Yes. Didcot Parkway station is about 2.9 miles north of Blewbury, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What affects the price in Blewbury
Quotes vary because of:
- Waste quantity and disposal
