About our asbestos removal in Coscote
Asbestos removal in Coscote covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From garage roof sheets and debris left from a previous job, we deal with flue pipes, floor tiles and water tanks.
In Coscote, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Coscote questions
Could my house in Coscote contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.

Typical removal jobs in Coscote
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
