Asbestos Removal Oxford
If you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner in Oxfordshire, ensuring your property is safe and compliant is a top priority. The discovery of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) can be worrying, but with expert support from AAC Ltd., managing and removing asbestos doesn’t have to be stressful.
We specialise in non-licensed asbestos removal in Oxford, offering a professional, safe, and fully compliant service tailored to domestic and commercial properties. Backed by extensive experience across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and the Home Counties, our independent asbestos consultancy provides expert advice, precise surveys, and efficient asbestos removal solutions — all designed to protect your health, your property, and your peace of mind.
Why Choose Professional Asbestos Removal in Oxford
Asbestos, once widely used in building materials, can become extremely hazardous if damaged or disturbed. When asbestos fibres are released into the air and inhaled, they can lead to serious health issues, including Mesothelioma, Asbestosis, and asbestos-related lung cancer.
While asbestos in good condition is not immediately dangerous, it should never be tampered with without professional guidance. If you suspect asbestos in your Oxford property, AAC Ltd. can provide expert assessment, safe non-licensed removal, and clear guidance in line with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).
Understanding Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal
Not all asbestos work requires a government-issued licence. Non-licensed asbestos removal applies to materials that pose a lower risk of fibre release — such as asbestos cement sheets, floor tiles, or textured coatings (e.g. Artex).
Even though this type of work doesn’t require a licence, it still demands training, certification, and strict adherence to safety protocols. AAC Ltd.’s trained specialists follow all HSE (Health and Safety Executive) regulations, using proper PPE, controlled methods, and approved disposal procedures.
We manage the process from start to finish — ensuring your non-licensed asbestos removal in Oxford is safe, compliant, and fully documented.
The Legal Duty to Manage Asbestos (CAR 2012)
If you own or manage a non-domestic property, you have a legal responsibility under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 to identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials on your premises.
This includes:
-
Locating and recording ACMs within the property.
-
Assessing their condition and associated risks.
-
Developing and implementing a management plan.
-
Reviewing and updating the plan regularly.
AAC Ltd. helps you meet all these legal duties by carrying out management surveys, preparing asbestos management plans, and providing safe, efficient removal where required. Ignoring asbestos regulations can result in heavy fines, stop-work orders, or serious health risks — which is why it’s essential to trust accredited professionals.
Domestic Asbestos Removal Oxford
Older homes across Oxfordshire, particularly those built before 2000, may contain asbestos in garage roofs, ceiling coatings, insulation boards, and floor tiles. Our domestic asbestos removal services are designed for homeowners who want a safe, clean, and fully compliant solution.
We begin with asbestos sampling or a residential survey to identify potential ACMs. Once confirmed, our experts carry out non-licensed removal using specialist equipment and techniques to minimise disruption. We safely remove and dispose of all asbestos waste at approved facilities, providing consignment notes for your records.
Our goal is simple — to make your home safe, compliant, and asbestos-free, while maintaining your comfort and peace of mind throughout the process.

For businesses, schools, healthcare sites, and industrial buildings in Oxford, compliance and continuity are key. AAC Ltd. provides commercial asbestos removal services that align with your operational needs and legal obligations.
We work closely with duty holders to assess risks, plan safe removal, and complete projects with minimal downtime. Whether it’s asbestos cement panels, floor tiles, or insulation boards, our trained team ensures all work meets CAR 2012 standards.
All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, transported by licensed carriers, and disposed of at authorised hazardous waste facilities. We provide all necessary documentation — including waste consignment notes and clearance certification — so you can demonstrate full compliance.
Our Step-by-Step Process
Every non-licensed asbestos removal project in Oxford follows a strict safety procedure to ensure complete control and compliance:
1. Initial Survey & Testing
Our experts carry out asbestos surveys and testing in UKAS-accredited laboratories to confirm the presence, type, and condition of asbestos materials.
2. Safe Containment & Removal
We establish controlled zones using barriers and negative pressure units where needed. Materials are dampened to suppress fibre release before careful removal.
3. Secure Disposal
All asbestos waste is sealed, labelled, and transported by licensed waste carriers to approved disposal sites. You receive full waste tracking documentation for compliance.
4. Post-Removal Cleaning & Certification
After removal, the area is thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure it’s safe for reoccupation. For your records, we provide detailed reports and clearance confirmation.
