Asbestos removal for Kidlington
Asbestos removal for Kidlington properties
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Whether it’s loft water tanks and outbuildings with cement roofs, we deal with flue pipes, textured coatings and cement soffits and more.
In places like Kidlington, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- Material and condition
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help

Kidlington questions
Is asbestos common in Kidlington homes?
Any home in Kidlington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Kidlington from London?
We cover Kidlington, about 56 miles from central London.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What we deal with in Kidlington
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older properties in Kidlington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Which areas and materials are covered
