Asbestos removal for Green Park properties
Every removal job in Green Park is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are asbestos found during building work and Artex ceilings before renovation.
Rural removal near Green Park can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.

When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. We plan outdoor jobs in Green Park to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

Green Park: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Green Park homes?
Any home in Green Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Green Park?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do you cover Green Park?
Yes, we do: Green Park is within the area we cover in Reading. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Duty holders and landlords in Green Park
For managing agents and freeholders in Green Park, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Green Park
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Reading may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
In a school like Whitley Park Primary and Nursery School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.
Questions to ask before you book
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
After the job
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is typically a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
