Asbestos removal near Shellingford
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with textured coatings, flue pipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and loft water tanks.
In a village like Shellingford, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What we deal with in Shellingford
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old cold water tanks
In a school like Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Common questions in Shellingford
Do you cover Shellingford from London?
We cover Shellingford, about 63 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Shellingford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Step by step
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. In winter, the light goes in Shellingford by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
