Asbestos removal near Caldecott

We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Caldecott: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are cement soffits, water tanks and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about finds during refurbishment and cement water tanks in lofts.

In a smaller place like Caldecott, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

How we price asbestos removal

Quotes vary because of:

  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • The category of work
  • The survey scope
  • The type of material and its condition

A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

What to photograph

When you send photos, these help most:

  • An overall view
  • A closer photo of the material, without touching it
  • A rough size or measurement
  • Damaged areas

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Looking after things afterwards

If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.

Staying safe afterwards:

  • Book the replacement before removal
  • Let neighbours know if work is near them
  • Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
  • Let us know where we can park

What to avoid

Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Deal with asbestos before the builders start.

Doing it yourself?

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Do you cover Caldecott and the area around Culham station?

Yes. Culham station is about 2.3 miles east of Caldecott, and we cover both.

Is asbestos common in Caldecott homes?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Caldecott may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Do you cover Caldecott?

Yes, we do: Caldecott is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Do you work in flats?

Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Caldecott must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Why people call us in Caldecott

Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.

These come up again and again:

  • Old waste on site
  • Old floor tiles and black adhesive
  • Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
  • Asbestos garages

In a school like Thameside Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
