Questions from Shotover Hill
Do older homes in Shotover Hill have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Shotover Hill and the area towards Oxford station, about 3.3 miles west.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
