How asbestos removal works in Headington Hill
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and garage roof sheets, including cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits.
In places like Headington Hill, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Headington Hill
Do you cover Headington Hill from London?
We cover Headington Hill, about 52 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Headington Hill homes?
If your home in Headington Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Where we could park
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Headington Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What we deal with in Headington Hill
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
In older properties in Headington Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Which laboratory analyses samples
