Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Asbestos removal near Coley Park
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Coley Park: cement sheets and roofs, flues, tanks, gutters, textured coatings and floor tiles. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. From cement water tanks in lofts and debris left from a previous job, we deal with cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
In areas like Coley Park, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Questions from Coley Park
How far is Coley Park from London?
Coley Park is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Reading West station?
Yes. Reading West station is about 0.7 miles north of Coley Park, and we cover both.
Do you work in Coley Park?
Yes. We cover Coley Park and the surrounding area as part of Wokingham. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: 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.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What happens
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Our team uses the right protective equipment, and keeps dust to a minimum. Late-December sunset in Coley Park is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

The scope of asbestos removal
Worth knowing before booking:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials in Coley Park
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt

- Flue pipes
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos cement sheets

Common reasons for removal jobs in Coley Park
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Asbestos found during building work
- Asbestos garages
- Debris left from a previous job
In older buildings across Coley Park, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- The method and controls

What affects the price in Coley Park
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Disposal costs
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Licensed or non-licensed
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Helping us quote
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
