Asbestos removal for Little Tew properties
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. People often contact us about Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes.
In Little Tew, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Little Tew: your questions answered
Do older homes in Little Tew have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Little Tew?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Don’ts
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Options to consider in Little Tew
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. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- Work done to the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Materials we deal with
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Typical removal jobs in Little Tew
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in Little Tew:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
- Artex before plastering
In older properties in Little Tew, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Little Tew must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How we price asbestos removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Travel and parking
- The type of material and its condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
