Asbestos removal in Owslebury Bottom
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and water tanks, and people typically contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and textured coatings.
In places like Owslebury Bottom, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Owslebury Bottom
Is asbestos common in Owslebury Bottom homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Owslebury Bottom and the area around Shawford station?
Yes, we cover Owslebury Bottom and the area towards Shawford station, about 2.7 miles west.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

What we deal with in Owslebury Bottom
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Asbestos garages
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Owslebury Bottom, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- What category of work it is
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
After we have finished in Owslebury Bottom
File the waste paperwork safely: it proves legal disposal.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
The scope of asbestos removal
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Flue pipes
- Soffits (cement)
- Bitumen roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
Options to consider in Owslebury Bottom
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
