How asbestos removal works in Upper Heyford
In homes, in Upper Heyford as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work, we deal with textured coatings, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Upper Heyford, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Where asbestos turns up
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
These come up again and again:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old flues
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
In older properties in Upper Heyford, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upper Heyford, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
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.
