Asbestos removal in OX7: what to expect
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. Typical jobs include flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and materials found mid-project, involving cement roof sheets, textured coatings and water tanks.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We check whether it’s licensed, notifiable or non-licensed work
- We book the work and notify if required
- On the day we set up, remove and bag the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Around Chipping Norton
Locally, our jobs take us close to Church of St Mary, Holy Trinity Catholic School and The Bell Public House, among other places.

Nearby you will also find Wheelbarrow Castle (3.9 miles north-west) and Chipping Norton Museum (within half a mile north-east).
Where we work in OX7
Removal jobs across OX7 range from garage roofs in Chipping Norton, Charlbury and Shipton-under-Wychwood to barns and outbuildings in 32 villages and hamlets. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.
Chipping Norton: In a school like Chipping Norton School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. For rentals close to Kingham station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. We plan outdoor jobs in Chipping Norton to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:30pm in June.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How fibres will be kept down
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What affects the price in OX7
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
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.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route
Send us the address in OX7, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Typical removal jobs in OX7
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Old waste on site
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Common questions in OX7
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in OX7?
Yes, OX7 is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
