Where asbestos turns up
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex before plastering
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old flues
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
At a school such as Oakley CE Junior School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Oakley questions
Do you cover Oakley and the area around Overton station?
Yes, we cover Oakley and the area towards Overton station, about 3.7 miles west.
Could my house in Oakley contain asbestos?
Any home in Oakley 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 work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Oakley?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
After we have finished in Oakley
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
How we price asbestos removal
What drives the price:
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- An overall view
- Approximate dimensions
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
