How asbestos removal works in Furze Platt
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and textured coatings, and typical jobs are old flues and asbestos garages.
In places like Furze Platt, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What we deal with in Furze Platt
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead may contain it.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Old flues
- Garage roof sheets

Furze Platt: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Furze Platt homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Furze Platt from London?
Furze Platt is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
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.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
