Asbestos removal for Didcot
Asbestos removal near Didcot
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical jobs include old sheds and coal bunkers and cement water tanks in lofts, involving floor tiles, textured coatings and cement soffits.
In areas like Didcot, typical jobs are garage roofs, flues and Artex, often ahead of building work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Didcot
Do you cover Didcot from London?
We cover Didcot, about 50 miles from central London.
Could my house in Didcot contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Didcot can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Do you work in Didcot?
Yes, Didcot is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Didcot were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
