Asbestos removal for Great Coxwell
Duty holders and landlords in Great Coxwell
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Asbestos removal near Great Coxwell
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and floor tiles, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In places like Great Coxwell, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Great Coxwell: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Great Coxwell homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Great Coxwell from London?
Great Coxwell is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.

The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Great Coxwell by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Find any old asbestos reports

After we have finished in Great Coxwell
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.

- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Book the replacement before removal
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Great Coxwell
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old flues
Older buildings in Great Coxwell, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
