FAQs for Tackley
Do you work near Tackley station?
Yes, we cover Tackley, including the streets around Tackley station.
How far is Tackley from London?
We cover Tackley, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
About our asbestos removal in Tackley
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will tell you if your job in Tackley falls into that category. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and Artex before plastering, we deal with floor tiles, flue pipes and water tanks.
In a village like Tackley, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Other services in Tackley
For businesses and landlords in Tackley
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Typical removal jobs in Tackley
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These come up again and again:
- Old flues
- Asbestos garages
- Loft water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Tackley, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. We plan outdoor jobs in Tackley to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:30pm in June.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can

Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
