Asbestos removal in Crown Wood: local notes
Crown Wood is about 1 mile south-east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Properties in Crown Wood range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Crown Wood is one of 41 places in Bracknell Forest where we work. Our area stretches from Crown Wood to Reading (11 miles away).
In older buildings across Crown Wood, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. If you let property near Martins Heron station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

Asbestos removal in Crown Wood
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include flue pipes, water tanks and cement roof sheets, and people normally contact us about asbestos garages and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
Homes in Crown Wood with bigger gardens may have several outbuildings with cement roofs, which can often be dealt with together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Choosing the right option
Should it come out? Sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is generally right. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
How we work in Crown Wood
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- No removal until we know what it is

Take a look at our prices page and our cost guide.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Why people call us in Crown Wood
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For non-domestic buildings like Crown Wood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- The method and controls
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- If the price includes VAT
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job

Crown Wood questions
Do you work near Martins Heron station?
Yes, we cover Crown Wood and the area towards Martins Heron station, about 0.8 miles north-east.
How far is Crown Wood from London?
Crown Wood is about 29 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Crown Wood?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note as your record.
What happens next
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
- Send photos of the material and the access
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
How we price asbestos removal
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- Location, parking and any London charges
The cost of asbestos removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
For a quick quote, include:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size

Duty holders and landlords in Crown Wood

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
