- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Your options compared
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Burghclere questions
Do you work near Newbury station?
Yes. Newbury station is about 3.5 miles north of Burghclere, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Burghclere?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
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.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What happens to the waste?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
What happens next
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Burghclere
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
In older properties in Burghclere, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
