How asbestos removal works in Farmoor
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Farmoor: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, including gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In a village like Farmoor, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

What we deal with in Farmoor
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
If you let property near Oxford station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
