North Moreton properties and asbestos removal
North Moreton is about 2 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. North Moreton has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. North Moreton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 10 miles away.
For non-domestic buildings like South Moreton Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Asbestos removal near North Moreton
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are flue pipes, cement soffits and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like North Moreton, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Why people call us in North Moreton
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in North Moreton:
- Old cold water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
Older buildings in North Moreton, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in North Moreton, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
FAQs for North Moreton
How far is North Moreton from London?
We cover North Moreton, about 48 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like North Moreton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Looking after things afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
