How asbestos removal works in Shirrell Heath
If your builder has found suspect material in Shirrell Heath, work should stop there and people kept out. We will identify it and plan what happens next. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and old waste on site.
In Shirrell Heath, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Shirrell Heath
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Shirrell Heath
Do you work near Botley station?
Yes, we cover Shirrell Heath and the area towards Botley station, about 2.9 miles west.
Do you cover small places like Shirrell Heath?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
