What we deal with in Great Tew
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Great Tew:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks

- Finds during refurbishment

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Choosing the right option
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Questions from Great Tew
Do older homes in Great Tew have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Great Tew may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Great Tew?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in 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.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For businesses and landlords in Great Tew
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Great Tew, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
