Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old cold water tanks
In older buildings across Piddington, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The method and controls
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
FAQs for Piddington
Do you work near Bicester Village station?
Yes, we cover Piddington and the area towards Bicester Village station, about 4.4 miles north-west.
Is asbestos common in Piddington homes?
Any home in Piddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
