Asbestos removal for New Marston
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
About our asbestos removal in New Marston
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. From asbestos garages and old cold water tanks, we cover gutters and downpipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
Properties in towns and villages like New Marston with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older buildings across New Marston, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.

Your questions about asbestos removal in New Marston
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover New Marston and the area towards Oxford station, about 1.6 miles south-west.
Is asbestos common in New Marston homes?
If your home in New Marston was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
