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 Testing & Air Monitoring 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.
How quickly can I find out if a material contains asbestos?
Standard bulk sample analysis is returned within 24 hours, and same-day analysis is available for urgent cases. You receive a UKAS-accredited certificate stating the fibre type, or confirming none is present.
What is an air test for and when do I need one?
Air testing measures the concentration of asbestos fibres in the air. It is used for reassurance after disturbance, for background monitoring, and for the mandatory clearance test after licensed removal before a space can be reoccupied.
