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.

Asbestos Surveys 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.
Which asbestos survey do I actually need?
If the building is staying as-is, a management survey satisfies your legal duty to manage. If you are refurbishing or demolishing any part of it, the law requires the more intrusive refurbishment & demolition survey before work begins. We will confirm the right one free of charge.
How long does an asbestos survey take?
A domestic management survey is often done in a single morning. Larger commercial premises or intrusive refurbishment surveys take longer, but we return UKAS-analysed results and the full report typically within 48 hours of the site visit.
