Asbestos removal near Little Wittenham
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. People often contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and materials found mid-project, including flue pipes, cement roof sheets and textured coatings.
In a village like Little Wittenham, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
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.
The scope of asbestos removal
The usual limits are:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Why people call us in Little Wittenham
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
In older properties, we often see:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Cement water tanks in lofts
In older properties in Little Wittenham, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- VAT, clearly stated
Little Wittenham questions
Is asbestos common in Little Wittenham homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Little Wittenham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Appleford station?
Yes. Appleford station is about 2.4 miles west of Little Wittenham, and we cover both.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
