Asbestos removal for Eddington properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Whether it’s sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and cement water tanks in lofts, we cover floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.
Rural removal near Eddington can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Common questions in Eddington
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Eddington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the method depends on what the material is.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Eddington
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Asbestos garages
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
In older buildings across Eddington, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Questions to ask before booking
- What is not included
- What paperwork you get
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
