Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls.

- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

FAQs for OX26
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in OX26?
Yes. We cover OX26 and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
