Asbestos removal near Burdrop
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about loft water tanks and Artex before plastering, including gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks.
In Burdrop, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- How many samples are needed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
To help us quote quickly, send:
- Damaged areas
- A picture of the whole area
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
You’ll get a written quote. Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Burdrop questions
Is asbestos common in Burdrop homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Burdrop?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Places near Burdrop
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Garage roof sheets
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Loft water tanks
For non-domestic buildings like Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

- Send us the postcode and photos
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We book the work and notify if required
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
