Asbestos removal near Thrupp

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Weighing up your options

- Asbestos found during building work
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive

At a school such as The Marlborough Church of England School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Questions from Thrupp
Do you cover Thrupp and the area around Oxford Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Thrupp and the area towards Oxford Parkway station, about 2.7 miles south-east.
Do older homes in Thrupp have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, as the method may need to change.
To avoid problems in future:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
