Common reasons for removal jobs in Lower Heyford
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it does not always need to go.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
For non-domestic buildings like Dr Radcliffe's Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What isn’t included
About our asbestos removal in Lower Heyford
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From loft water tanks and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement roof sheets, floor tiles and water tanks and more.
In towns and villages like Lower Heyford, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Avoid these
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- No removal until we know what it is
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
