Asbestos removal in Fritwell

Asbestos removal near Fritwell

Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. We often deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old waste on site and asbestos garages.

In a village like Fritwell, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Materials we deal with

Water tanks and flues

Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.

Textured coatings

Taking the boards down can be an alternative.

Good to know

It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:

  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Making good is normally a separate job
  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Typical removal jobs in Fritwell

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

  • Artex ceilings before renovation
  • Floor tiles before a new floor
  • Cement water tanks in lofts
  • Asbestos garages

In a school like Fritwell Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

How it works

As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, ready to go to a permitted site. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Outdoor removal in Fritwell is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:30pm in June.

  1. Describe the material and send pictures
  2. If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
  3. We plan the job and send a written quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the way to the work area
  • Don’t disturb the material before we get there
  • Keep the area clear of children and pets

Should you do it yourself?

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Responsibilities for owners

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Fritwell, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Which option is right?

DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Why us?

  • Across London and the South East
  • We identify first and remove only what needs removing
  • Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
  • Reports and results you can share
