About our asbestos removal in Steventon
You do not always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will tell you honestly when that’s the case. From loft water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, we deal with water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles and more.
In areas like Steventon, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials

Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Steventon
Do you cover small places like Steventon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Steventon and the area around Didcot Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Steventon and the area towards Didcot Parkway station, about 3.6 miles east.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Your options compared
Dealing with asbestos before work starts keeps the project on track, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

At a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
