Asbestos removal for Oving
Common reasons for removal jobs in Oving
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex before plastering
- Old waste on site
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement flues and gutters
In older properties in Oving, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

How asbestos removal works in Oving
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Common materials are cement soffits, cement roof sheets and water tanks, and people normally contact us about materials found mid-project and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
In Oving, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed.

Common questions in Oving
Do you come out to small villages like Oving?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Oving and the area around Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Oving and the area towards Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.8 miles south.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.

Duty holders and landlords in Oving
If you run a business from older premises in Oving, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
After we’ve finished in Oving
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Send photos of the material and the access
