Asbestos removal for Burghfield Hill
How asbestos removal works in Burghfield Hill
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in Burghfield Hill falls into that category. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, water tanks and flue pipes, and people usually contact us about old sheds and coal bunkers and garage roofs and whole garages.
In a smaller place like Burghfield Hill, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is usually a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Once we’re done:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

FAQs for Burghfield Hill
Could my house in Burghfield Hill contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Mortimer station?
Yes. Mortimer station is about 2.1 miles south of Burghfield Hill, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What we deal with in Burghfield Hill
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Textured coatings
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
