Asbestos help in Brightwalton
What we deal with in Brightwalton
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Textured coatings
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Broken sheets in gardens
In a school like Brightwalton C.E. Aided Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Asbestos removal near Brightwalton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, because the method depends on the material. Common materials are cement soffits, flue pipes and cement roof sheets, and people usually contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes.
In Brightwalton, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
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.
If your business premises in Brightwalton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Insulating board and lagging

Your questions about asbestos removal in Brightwalton
Do you cover Brightwalton from London?
We cover Brightwalton, about 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Brightwalton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, with a consignment note for your records.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Brightwalton?
We do: Brightwalton is within the area we cover in West Berkshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
To help us quote quickly, send:
- The parking area
- An idea of size
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
