Asbestos removal in North Stoke
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings.
In a village like North Stoke, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

North Stoke questions
Do you cover North Stoke from London?
We cover North Stoke, about 44 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in North Stoke homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you cover North Stoke?
Yes. We cover North Stoke and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

Where asbestos turns up
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
These are some of the things we deal with in North Stoke:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Asbestos found during building work
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Loft water tanks
At a school such as Wallingford School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
