Common reasons for removal jobs in Northway
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Northway, near St Anthony of Padua or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Whether the job needs notifying
- VAT, clearly stated
Asbestos removal for Northway properties
If your builder has found suspect material in Northway, work should stop there and people kept out. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. We often deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are textured coatings and debris left from a previous job.
Properties in areas like Northway with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, for anyone working there later.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Northway, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Northway
Is asbestos common in Northway homes?
If your home in Northway was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Northway from London?
We cover Northway, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
