Asbestos removal in Northmoor
How asbestos removal works in Northmoor
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include garage roof sheets and old flues, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks.
In areas like Northmoor, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What happens
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. In winter, the light goes in Northmoor by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Typical removal jobs in Northmoor
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos garages
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Finds during refurbishment
In older properties in Northmoor, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Northmoor
Do you cover Northmoor from London?
Northmoor is about 58 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Northmoor?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Before booking, note that:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
