Asbestos removal for Englefield properties
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and garage roofs and whole garages.
In areas like Englefield, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

Questions from Englefield
Do older homes in Englefield have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Englefield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you receive the consignment note.
