In a village like Beedon, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Beedon: your questions answered
How far is Beedon from London?
We cover Beedon, about 52 miles from central London.
Could my house in Beedon contain asbestos?
Any home in Beedon built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does removal cost?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Beedon?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The removal method depends on the material.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Beedon
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Textured coatings
In a school like Beedon C.E. (Controlled) Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
