What we deal with in Hook Norton
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
In older properties, we often see:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Cement flues and gutters
- Loft water tanks
In older buildings across Hook Norton, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Common questions in Hook Norton
How far is Hook Norton from London?
We cover Hook Norton, about 69 miles from central London.
Could my house in Hook Norton contain asbestos?
Any home in Hook Norton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work

Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
