FAQs for Chavey Down
Do you work near Martins Heron station?
Yes. Martins Heron station is about 1 mile south-west of Chavey Down, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Chavey Down?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Step by step
Unexpected materials mean we pause and discuss, rather than carrying on regardless. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. We plan outdoor jobs in Chavey Down to finish before dark: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Clear the way to the work area

What we deal with in Chavey Down
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead may contain it.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Old waste on site
- Cement flues and gutters
For rentals close to Martins Heron station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get
- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Any exclusions
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll advise.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
