Asbestos removal for Colnbrook
Asbestos removal for Colnbrook properties
In homes, in Colnbrook as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is generally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From materials found mid-project and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover cement soffits, flue pipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Colnbrook can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old waste on site
- Loft water tanks
In a school like Colnbrook Church of England Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Helpful guides
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes can be a warning sign: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. 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.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Common questions in Colnbrook
How far is Colnbrook from London?
We cover Colnbrook, about 19 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Colnbrook?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can typically stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- A photo of the whole area
Send us the address in Colnbrook, a description and some photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
