How asbestos removal works in Marston

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Marston
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
For non-domestic buildings like St Nicholas Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

FAQs for Marston
Do older homes in Marston have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Marston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Do you work in Marston?
Yes, we do: Marston is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help

Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
