Asbestos removal in Radley
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. Whether it’s cement flues and gutters and Artex ceilings before renovation, we cover textured coatings, cement roof sheets and flue pipes and more.
In places like Radley, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Radley
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex ceilings before renovation
At a school such as Radley Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

After we have finished in Radley
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note

- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
For businesses and landlords in Radley
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Radley must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.

No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
