About our asbestos removal in Curridge
Asbestos removal in Curridge covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Common materials are flue pipes, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and outbuildings with cement roofs.
In a village like Curridge, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

FAQs for Curridge
Do you cover Curridge and the area around Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. Newbury Racecourse station is about 3.2 miles south of Curridge, and we cover both.
Could my house in Curridge contain asbestos?
Any home in Curridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Curridge?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you cover Curridge?
We do: Curridge is within the area we cover in West Berkshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.

It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.
