Asbestos removal in Longworth
Asbestos removal for Longworth properties
Asbestos removal in Longworth covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical materials include water tanks, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and people usually contact us about garage roof sheets and loft water tanks.
In towns and villages like Longworth, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

After the job

Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any previous survey

- File the consignment note
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Don’ts
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
What we deal with in Longworth
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
- Loft water tanks
In a school like Longworth Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
