Asbestos removal for Tubney properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Tubney: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving water tanks, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In a village like Tubney, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Tubney
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
At a school such as Abingdon Preparatory School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Duty holders and landlords in Tubney
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Tubney must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Choosing the right option
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
