About our asbestos removal in Steeple Barton
Asbestos removal in Steeple Barton covers homes, rental property and workplaces: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles.

From cement flues and gutters and asbestos found during building work, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and gutters and downpipes.
Rural removal near Steeple Barton can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common questions in Steeple Barton
Do older homes in Steeple Barton have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Steeple Barton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

What we deal with in Steeple Barton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across Oxfordshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
Older buildings in Steeple Barton, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
