Asbestos in Bicester
Bicester is one of England's fastest-growing towns, combining a historic core and former RAF and military depot buildings with rapid modern expansion. Its older homes, the legacy military and warehouse buildings, and 1960s-80s estates commonly contain artex, asbestos cement roofing and cladding, and asbestos insulating board.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Bicester properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Bicester: FAQs
Do former military and depot buildings near Bicester contain asbestos?
Often — the area's military and warehouse buildings frequently retain asbestos cement roofs, cladding and lagging. Any conversion or demolition requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out locally.
Can you test artex in a Bicester home?
Yes — textured coatings from before 2000 can contain white asbestos. A single sample, usually £50 to £80, gives a UKAS-accredited result within about 24 hours so you know before decorating.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
