Asbestos removal in Denton
Asbestos removal in Denton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like Denton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Denton questions
Do older homes in Denton have asbestos?
If your home in Denton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Denton and the area around Radley station?
Yes, we cover Denton and the area towards Radley station, about 4.9 miles south-west.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. We plan outdoor jobs in Denton to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send you the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions

Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Bitumen roof felt
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Garage and shed roofs
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Denton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Denton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Denton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old flues
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
At a school such as Garsington Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
