Common reasons for removal jobs in Steeple Aston
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Loft water tanks
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
In older properties in Steeple Aston, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

What else we do in Steeple Aston
What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Afterwards
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
