After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos removal for Lyford properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From materials found mid-project and old sheds and coal bunkers, we deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and textured coatings.
Rural removal near Lyford can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Typical removal jobs in Lyford
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Cement flues and gutters
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Lyford, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Lyford
Do older homes in Lyford have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lyford may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Lyford from London?
We cover Lyford, about 58 miles from central London.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Do you cover Lyford?
Yes. We cover Lyford and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
For businesses and landlords in Lyford
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you manage or own a block in Lyford, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
