Quotes vary because of:

Access to the area
Licensed or non-licensed

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Where asbestos turns up

Selling or letting a property can prompt removal of obvious materials, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.

In older properties, we often see:

Artex ceilings before renovation
Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
Asbestos garages
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles

What we do and do not cover

Some limits to bear in mind:

Making good is normally a separate job
Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
We do not remove anything until it’s been identified

Duty holders and landlords in West Berkshire

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

Choosing the right option

Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded.

West Berkshire: your questions answered

Is asbestos removal licensed?

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

Should I check for asbestos before buying?

Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

In many cases it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
