What we deal with in West Hendred
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in West Hendred:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
In older properties in West Hendred, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
After the job
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Going forward:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

West Hendred questions
Do you cover West Hendred from London?
West Hendred is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in West Hendred contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in West Hendred can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How much does asbestos removal cost in West Hendred?
There is no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
