What we deal with in Upton
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old cold water tanks
- Finds during refurbishment
- Artex before plastering
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
If you let property near Didcot Parkway station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is typically well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as 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.
Questions from Upton
Do you cover small places like Upton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Upton from London?
Upton is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Upton?
Yes. We cover Upton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
