Asbestos removal for Filchampstead properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include old floor tiles and black adhesive and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, involving flue pipes, cement roof sheets and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like Filchampstead, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
How it works
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Filchampstead by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Filchampstead: your questions answered
Do older homes in Filchampstead have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Filchampstead may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Filchampstead and the area towards Oxford station, about 3.2 miles east.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
