Our asbestos removal in OX16
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. People often contact us about old flues and Artex before plastering, including flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles.
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area.

Banbury: At a school such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. If you’re on or near the A361 and A422, tell us about parking and loading, as main roads can be restricted. We plan outdoor jobs in Banbury to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:30pm.
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Common reasons for removal jobs in OX16
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are some of the things we deal with in OX16:
- Asbestos garages
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Artex before plastering
Duty holders and landlords in OX16
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Questions from OX16
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can I stay at home during removal?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
