Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
Where asbestos turns up
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Finds during refurbishment
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
Landlords near Crowthorne station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Duty holders and landlords in Finchampstead
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
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.

How we price asbestos removal

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

Finchampstead: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Finchampstead?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Finchampstead from London?
We cover Finchampstead, about 34 miles from central London.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What happens to the waste?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
Before booking, note that:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
