Why people call us in Faringdon
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Textured coatings
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
Older buildings in Faringdon, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking

What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is normally right. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Questions from Faringdon
Do you cover Faringdon from London?
Faringdon is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in Faringdon have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How it works
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Faringdon is about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
