Asbestos removal near Chilson
If your builder has found suspect material in Chilson, work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and loft water tanks, including flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In Chilson, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Questions from Chilson
Do you cover small places like Chilson?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Chilson from London?

What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do you work in Chilson?
Yes, Chilson is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Debris left from a previous job
Landlords near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
