Asbestos help in Cothill
Asbestos removal for Cothill properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, including floor tiles, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Cothill, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For businesses and landlords in Cothill
If your business premises in Cothill were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs

Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- The size of the job
- Travel and parking
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- An overall view
- The access route
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page to get started.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.

Cothill is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our area stretches from Cothill to Oxford (6 miles away).
In a school like Dry Sandford Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Cothill, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Cothill: your questions answered
Do you cover Cothill from London?
We cover Cothill, about 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Cothill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
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 we deal with in Cothill
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Textured coatings
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Radley station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
