Asbestos removal near Foscot
Asbestos removal near Foscot
You do not always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we’ll say so. Typical materials include textured coatings, floor tiles and cement soffits, and people normally contact us about broken sheets in gardens and cement flues and gutters.
In towns and villages like Foscot, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

- Artex and textured coatings
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)

The process
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, before changing the plan. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. In winter, the light goes in Foscot by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- We send a quote covering the work and the waste
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone

Duty holders and landlords in Foscot
If your business premises in Foscot were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Textured coatings

Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Why people call us in Foscot
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Typical jobs in Foscot include:
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In a school like Bledington Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
