Asbestos removal in New Hinksey
Asbestos removal in New Hinksey
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. People often contact us about vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and materials found mid-project, involving cement soffits, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like New Hinksey, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in New Hinksey, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After we’ve finished in New Hinksey
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Options to consider in New Hinksey

What we deal with in New Hinksey
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Materials found mid-project
- Old waste on site
- Textured coatings
In older buildings across New Hinksey, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
