Common questions in Hinksey Hill
Do you come out to small villages like Hinksey Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hinksey Hill and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 2 miles north of Hinksey Hill, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you cover Hinksey Hill?
We do: Hinksey Hill is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Good to know

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
