Asbestos removal near Wendlebury
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos removal in Wendlebury
In homes, in Wendlebury 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. Typical materials include floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
In Wendlebury, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Wendlebury questions
Do older homes in Wendlebury have asbestos?
Any home in Wendlebury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Wendlebury and the area around Bicester Village station?
Yes, we cover Wendlebury and the area towards Bicester Village station, about 2.1 miles north-east.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can generally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
