How far is Headington Quarry from London?

Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Headington Quarry?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
After we’ve finished in Headington Quarry
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After we have finished:

- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Things not to do
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste paperwork for every removal
