Asbestos removal near Hinton Waldrist

FAQs for Hinton Waldrist

Is asbestos common in Hinton Waldrist homes?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hinton Waldrist can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do you cover Hinton Waldrist from London?

We cover Hinton Waldrist, about 60 miles from central London.

Do I need a test or a survey?

A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.

Do I get anything in writing afterwards?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.

How asbestos removal works in Hinton Waldrist

Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about finds during refurbishment and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.

In areas like Hinton Waldrist, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

How it works

We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Outdoor removal in Hinton Waldrist is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

  1. Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
  2. We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
  3. A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
  4. On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
  5. Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows

Typical removal jobs in Hinton Waldrist

Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:

  • Old sheds and coal bunkers
  • Old cold water tanks
  • Garage roof sheets
  • Cement flues and gutters

At a school such as Longworth Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Suitable insurance for the work
  • If the price includes VAT
  • Which laboratory analyses samples
  • Which areas and materials are covered

  • How much there is
  • Waste quantity and disposal

What to photograph

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • Visible markings

Doing it yourself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

  • Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
  • Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
