Asbestos removal in Woodmancote
Choosing the right option
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Asbestos removal in Woodmancote
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include cement soffits, flue pipes and floor tiles, and people usually contact us about flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and broken sheets in gardens.
In areas like Woodmancote, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Typical removal jobs in Woodmancote
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Woodmancote:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Old cold water tanks
- Old flues
- Broken sheets in gardens
Older buildings in Woodmancote, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
