Typical removal jobs in Iffley
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Artex before plastering
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
In a school like Rose Hill Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

Iffley questions
Do older homes in Iffley have asbestos?
Any home in Iffley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Iffley from London?
We cover Iffley, about 51 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
