About our asbestos removal in Dry Sandford
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. From vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
In Dry Sandford, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
What’s included, and what isn’t
What’s in and what’s out:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Dry Sandford
How far is Dry Sandford from London?
We cover Dry Sandford, about 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Dry Sandford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
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.
The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Dry Sandford by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Dry Sandford, you have a duty to 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.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

What we deal with in Dry Sandford
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
For rentals close to Radley station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
