Asbestos removal near Bowsey Hill
How asbestos removal works in Bowsey Hill
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we will say so. We often deal with water tanks, textured coatings and cement soffits, and typical jobs are garage roofs and whole garages and old floor tiles and black adhesive.
Rural removal near Bowsey Hill can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Bowsey Hill: your questions answered
Could my house in Bowsey Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Bowsey Hill and the area around Wargrave station?
Yes, we cover Bowsey Hill and the area towards Wargrave station, about 1.8 miles south-west.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Bowsey Hill?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the consignment note
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
