For landlords, agents and businesses
For managing agents and freeholders in Wolvercote, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Wolvercote must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Asbestos removal near Wolvercote
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and old cold water tanks, including water tanks, floor tiles and cement soffits.
In Wolvercote, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What we deal with in Wolvercote
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex before plastering
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old flues
- Materials found mid-project
In a school like Wolvercote Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, normally tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.

Wolvercote questions
Do you work near Oxford Parkway station?
Yes. Oxford Parkway station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Wolvercote, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Wolvercote?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
