Asbestos removal near Wootton
In homes, in Wootton 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 jobs include broken sheets in gardens and cement water tanks in lofts, including gutters and downpipes, textured coatings and floor tiles.
In Wootton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What we deal with in Wootton
Old materials break down over time: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is often when people decide to remove them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Loft water tanks
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Older buildings in Wootton, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- What paperwork you get
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Choosing the right option
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Reports and results you can share

Wootton questions
Do you cover Wootton and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 3.4 miles south-east of Wootton, and we cover both.
Do you cover Wootton from London?
We cover Wootton, about 54 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. We plan outdoor jobs in Wootton to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
After we’ve finished:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell us about any previous survey
What to avoid
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
