Common questions in Wheatley
Could my house in Wheatley contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wheatley from London?
Wheatley is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
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.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
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.
Asbestos removal in Wheatley
Removal is not always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Whether it’s old cold water tanks and garage roof sheets, we cover flue pipes, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
Properties in towns and villages like Wheatley with larger plots may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Typical removal jobs in Wheatley
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
Typical jobs in Wheatley include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Cement flues and gutters
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In older properties in Wheatley, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Can I do it myself?
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 recommends a competent person takes samples.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Looking after things afterwards

After we have finished:
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
