What we deal with in Forest Park
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Bracknell Forest may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Artex before plastering
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Garage roofs and whole garages
At a school such as Harmans Water Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty.

Asbestos removal near Forest Park
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, so fibre release stays as low as possible. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and flue pipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and old flues.
In a smaller place like Forest Park, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, reached through gardens and drives. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Forest Park
How far is Forest Park from London?
We cover Forest Park, about 28 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Forest Park homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Forest Park can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
