How asbestos removal works in Amen Corner
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s asbestos found during building work and loft water tanks, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings.
In places like Amen Corner, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Common questions in Amen Corner
Do you cover Amen Corner and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes. Bracknell station is about 1.3 miles east of Amen Corner, and we cover both.
How far is Amen Corner from London?
Amen Corner is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Amen Corner?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. We quote each job individually.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
