Removal jobs in Hethe
Hethe is about 4 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Hethe is within our Oxfordshire area, whatever the size of the job. Hethe is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Hethe to Oxford (about 15 miles away).
Older buildings in Hethe, near Church of St Edmund and George or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal. If you let property near Bicester North station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

How asbestos removal works in Hethe
Found asbestos during building work in Hethe? Work should stop there and people kept out. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. Whether it’s garage roof sheets and old flues, we deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Hethe can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Materials we deal with
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Share any survey or test results
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
FAQs for Hethe
Do you cover Hethe and the area around Bicester North station?
Yes, we cover Hethe and the area towards Bicester North station, about 4 miles south.
Do you cover Hethe from London?
Hethe is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What else we do in Hethe
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion. Late-December sunset in Hethe is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
