Why people call us in Farley Hill
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so buildings across West Berkshire built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Materials found mid-project
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Farley Hill, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Responsibilities for owners

Weighing up your options
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Looking after things afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
Going forward:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.

Farley Hill questions
Do you cover small places like Farley Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Farley Hill from London?
We cover Farley Hill, about 36 miles from central London.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
