How asbestos removal works in Wokingham

Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about old flues and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving water tanks, flue pipes and textured coatings.

At the end, the work area is cleaned with suitable methods and checked.

  1. Tell us what needs removing and send photos
  2. We test the material if needed
  3. We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
  4. On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
  5. We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note

Cost

Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Where we work in Wokingham

Across Wokingham, we remove asbestos cement, textured coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, in Reading, Woodley and Earley and the 21 villages and hamlets around them.

Reading: For rentals close to Reading West station, removal fits neatly between tenancies. In older properties in Reading, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal. Late-December sunset in Reading is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

Responsibilities for owners

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

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

Good to know

Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:

  • We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
  • Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
  • Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date

A closer look at the materials

Bitumen and felt

We remove them without cutting with power tools.

Textured coatings

Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.

Wokingham: your questions answered

Can you help a business or landlord?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Do I need a test or a survey?

Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.

Do you work in Wokingham?

Yes, we do: Wokingham is within the area we cover in Wokingham. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area in the job.

Do I need to move out?

It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.

Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?

It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
