How asbestos removal works in Bracknell Forest

Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will explain what applies to your job in Bracknell Forest. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and people generally contact us about debris left from a previous job and garage roof sheets.

We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work.

Asbestos removal across Bracknell Forest

From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to small villages, Bracknell Forest has every kind of removal job. Town jobs mean planning parking; rural jobs mean planning access.

Bracknell: If you are on or near the A322 and A329, tell us about parking and loading. In a school like Ranelagh School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. Outdoor removal in Bracknell is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

Why people call us in Bracknell Forest

Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

Cement flues and gutters
Old waste on site
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
Garage roof sheets

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Good to know

So you know what to expect:

Making good is normally a separate job
Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning

What happens next

If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.

Let us know where we can park
Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Keep children and pets away on the day

Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.

Your options compared

Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork.

Common questions in Bracknell Forest

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Do I need to move out?

It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Will I get the price in writing?

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
