Asbestos removal in York
Safe asbestos removal services across York and surrounding areas
If your property in York was built before 2000, it may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). These were commonly used in residential, commercial and agricultural buildings throughout the twentieth century due to their durability and fire-resistant properties.
While asbestos is generally safe when left undisturbed, it can become hazardous during refurbishment, repair work or as materials age and deteriorate. When disturbed, asbestos fibres can be released into the air, creating a serious health risk.
At Othick Property Services, we provide safe, reliable non-licensed asbestos removal services throughout York and the surrounding villages. We work with homeowners, landlords, businesses and agricultural clients to safely remove asbestos from a wide range of properties.
We can also carry out reinstatement works following removal, helping you restore your property without needing multiple contractors.
Have you had an asbestos survey?
Before any asbestos removal work takes place, it’s important to establish whether asbestos is present in your premises and assess its condition. If you suspect asbestos within your property, we can arrange an asbestos inspection to help identify the materials involved and determine the safest course of action.

Our recent work
Read the full case study“What a fantastic company — I genuinely couldn’t recommend them more highly.
I recently acquired an old outbuilding/barn next to my property that had definitely seen better days, and I was looking for a company that could help with several structural issues, replace the old asbestos roof and completely renovate the frontage. Having dealt with many contractors over the years, I knew as soon as I met Jason that he was the right person for the job.
Jason is a great guy and has built a brilliant team around him. Salty and Martin genuinely cared about doing a quality job, and their workmanship throughout was excellent. What also stood out was that Jason always tried to find practical ways to keep the project affordable without compromising on quality.
We are absolutely delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Othick Property Services to anyone.”
