Asbestos removal in Frilford Heath
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is usually non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are floor tiles, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about textured coatings and floor tiles before a new floor.
Rural removal near Frilford Heath can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Frilford Heath
Do you come out to small villages like Frilford Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Frilford Heath homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)

Common reasons for removal jobs in Frilford Heath
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Asbestos found during building work
In older properties in Frilford Heath, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How fibres will be kept down
- VAT, clearly stated
How we price asbestos removal
Our quotes take into account:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we’ll advise.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is usually right. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
