What we deal with in Cholsey
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Cholsey, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

Cholsey questions
Do you work near Cholsey station?
Yes. Cholsey station is close to the centre of Cholsey, and we cover the whole area.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Cholsey?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
