What’s included, and what is not
A few things to be aware of:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor

- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with

- Soffits (cement)
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Panels and boards
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Water tanks
- Flue pipes
Choosing the right option
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

How we work
We unfix materials and take them out in whole pieces where we can, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Oakfield by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the way to the work area
- Find any old asbestos reports

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Oakfield: your questions answered
Could my house in Oakfield contain asbestos?
Any home in Oakfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Oakfield and the area around Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes. Ryde St Johns Road station is close to the centre of Oakfield, and we cover the whole area.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What we deal with in Oakfield
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old waste on site
If you let property near Ryde St Johns Road station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.
