Asbestos removal in Bray
Common reasons for removal jobs in Bray
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Asbestos garages
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Cement flues and gutters
Older buildings in Bray, near St Michael's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
How asbestos removal works in Bray
Removal isn’t always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. People often contact us about old waste on site and Artex before plastering, involving water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like Bray, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What else we do in Bray
Bray questions
Do you cover small places like Bray?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Bray from London?
Bray is about 26 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
For businesses and landlords in Bray
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bray must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Looking after things afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
