Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Soffits (cement)
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Water tanks
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Flue pipes
- Bitumen roof felt
After the job
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Charlton-on-Otmoor questions
Do you work near Islip station?
Yes. Islip station is about 2.3 miles west of Charlton-on-Otmoor, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Charlton-on-Otmoor homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
