Asbestos removal near Eton
What it might be made of
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
How asbestos removal works in Eton
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. We often deal with textured coatings, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old floor tiles and black adhesive and broken sheets in gardens.
In towns and villages like Eton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Other services in Eton
Eton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Eton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Eton from London?
We cover Eton, about 22 miles from central London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does removal cost?
There is no fixed price: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover Eton?
Yes, we do: Eton is within the area we cover in Windsor and Maidenhead. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Typical removal jobs in Eton
Materials deteriorate with age: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Materials found mid-project
- Textured coatings
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
On busy roads like the A332 and B3022, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it.
