Asbestos removal in Jericho
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include flue pipes, cement soffits and water tanks, and typical jobs are Artex before plastering and materials found mid-project.
In a smaller place like Jericho, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Options to consider in Jericho
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

What it might be made of
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.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Avoid these
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
FAQs for Jericho
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Jericho and the area towards Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south.
How far is Jericho from London?
Jericho is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Why people call us in Jericho
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These are some of the things we deal with in Jericho:
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older properties in Jericho, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The type of material and its condition

Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
