How asbestos removal works in Oakridge
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and flue pipes, and people typically contact us about materials found mid-project and garage roofs and whole garages.
Homes in Oakridge with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Typical removal jobs in Oakridge
Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, although sound material can often stay.
These come up again and again:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Older buildings in Oakridge, near Ruins Of Chapel Of The Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Insulating board and lagging
Insulating board, lagging and sprayed coatings are licensed work in most cases.
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.
Oakridge questions
Do you cover Oakridge from London?
We cover Oakridge, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work near Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is close to the centre of Oakridge, and we cover the whole area.
Do you work in Oakridge?
Yes, Oakridge is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Prices and what affects them
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
