Common questions in Spelsbury
Do older homes in Spelsbury have asbestos?
Any home in Spelsbury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Spelsbury and the area around Charlbury station?
Yes, we cover Spelsbury and the area towards Charlbury station, about 1.5 miles south.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
How asbestos removal works in Spelsbury
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Spelsbury falls into that category. We often deal with cement soffits, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and cement flues and gutters.
In Spelsbury, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
For non-domestic buildings like Chadlington Church of England Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
