About our asbestos removal in Crowthorne
In homes, in Crowthorne as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Typical materials include cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and old cold water tanks.
In a town like Crowthorne, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The process
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, never broken up, dropped or cut with power tools. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In winter, the light goes in Crowthorne by about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
After we have finished:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Wokingham may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roof sheets
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Floor tiles before a new floor
At a school such as Crowthorne Church of England Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- How fibres will be kept down
- What category of work it is
- What isn’t included
Your questions about asbestos removal in Crowthorne

How we price asbestos removal
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A clear close-up
- A picture of the whole area
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
