Asbestos removal for Marsh Baldon properties
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. From asbestos garages and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In Marsh Baldon, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Marsh Baldon
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Debris left from a previous job
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roof sheets
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
In older properties in Marsh Baldon, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- The scope of the job, in writing
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The documents you will receive
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Making good is normally a separate job
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Soffits (cement)
- Flue pipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Artex and textured coatings
Afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
Once we’re done:
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Marsh Baldon: your questions answered
How far is Marsh Baldon from London?
We cover Marsh Baldon, about 49 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Marsh Baldon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Do you work in Marsh Baldon?
Yes. We cover Marsh Baldon and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Choosing the right option
Should it come out? 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. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
