Asbestos removal in Duns Tew
About our asbestos removal in Duns Tew
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with water tanks, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In Duns Tew, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
For businesses and landlords in Duns Tew
If your business premises in Duns Tew were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common questions in Duns Tew
Is asbestos common in Duns Tew homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Duns Tew?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What affects the price in Duns Tew
The cost depends on:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The survey scope
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
