About our asbestos removal in Charlbury
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical materials include water tanks, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and people normally contact us about debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts.
Properties in places like Charlbury with larger plots can have more than one cement-roofed building. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your options compared
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, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
FAQs for Charlbury
How far is Charlbury from London?
We cover Charlbury, about 65 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Charlbury homes?
If your home in Charlbury was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What else we do in Charlbury
Common reasons for removal jobs in Charlbury
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
In older properties in Charlbury, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
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.
How it works
If we find more than expected, or something different, we stop and talk to you, rather than carrying on regardless. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan outdoor jobs in Charlbury to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:30pm.
