Asbestos removal near Shipton-on-Cherwell
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that is the case. Typical materials include textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In places like Shipton-on-Cherwell, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex before plastering
- Old flues
In older buildings across Shipton-on-Cherwell, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan.

After we have finished in Shipton-on-Cherwell
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Book the replacement before removal
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
