We are a “one-stop shop” for the safe management of asbestos-contaminated land
Historically, there have been various ways in which asbestos has ended up in land, soil, or construction waste. A building containing asbestos products – such as asbestos roof tiles, insulation, cladding, and/or guttering – may have been demolished on the site, without such asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) having been responsibly removed beforehand. Alternatively, waste disposal activities may have taken place at that location in the past.
When asbestos does find its way into soil, land, or construction waste at a site in or near Northampton, it may be buried in whole pieces, or it might consist of loose fibres.
Whatever the exact situation may be at your own site – and whether the land is in Northampton town centre, Abington, Abington Vale, East Hunsbury, West Hunsbury, Weston Favell Village, or somewhere further afield – you can have the utmost trust in our expert services.
Such solutions of ours as asbestos in soil testing, WAC testing, and the removal of asbestos-contaminated soil and land, can help ensure both safety and legal compliance in the management of your site.
The asbestos contamination of land is a major issue – in Northampton and elsewhere
With its population of around 250,000 people, the town of Northampton has long been renowned as a pleasant and rewarding part of the country in which to live and work. This East Midlands market town offers the amenities that a modern town should have, as well as an entertaining nightlife and straightforward access to rural tranquillity.
However, in common with the situation in other places up and down the UK, the Northampton area has various sites where there may be a risk of asbestos fibres being present in soil or construction waste. Both “brownfield” and “greenfield” sites can potentially be contaminated with asbestos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we have set out answers to some of the queries we commonly receive in relation to asbestos-contaminated soil, land, and construction waste. If there is anything you are still uncertain about, or if you would like to request a quote, please contact us.
If you suspect your land, soil, or construction waste contains asbestos, what step should you take first?
In this circumstance, it will be necessary to determine whether the land, soil, or waste for which you are responsible does, indeed, contain asbestos. In addition to knowing whether asbestos is present, you will need to find out such details as how much asbestos there is, how deeply it is embedded in the soil or waste, and what type(s) of asbestos are present.
We recommend that in order to find out this information, you arrange for a complete asbestos contamination land survey to be carried out.
What methods are used to investigate suspected asbestos-contaminated land or soil?
There are two types of site investigations for asbestos-contaminated land that our highly qualified and experienced asbestos consultants at Oracle Solutions carry out: asbestos in soil testing and WAC testing.
It may be determined that a more ambitious investigation of your site will be needed, in order to identify ACMs there. If so, we can dig trenches, boreholes, or trial pits. We can also capture samples for subsequent analysis at a UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Does asbestos always need to be removed from soil or construction waste?
The short answer to this question is no. It might well become apparent, following a risk assessment being undertaken at your site, that contaminated soil can be left in place. However, the decision may be made to implement a clean cover system, to help ensure the asbestos is not disturbed in the future.
It is important to emphasise, though, that in most cases, the logical step after the discovery of asbestos contamination in any given soil or construction waste, will be arranging for the removal of the potentially lethal mineral.
Again, the risk assessment process will allow for the exact risk to be determined, and an informed judgement to be made on any remediation work that may be needed.
