Asbestos removal for Henley-on-Thames
How asbestos removal works in Henley-on-Thames
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s old sheds and coal bunkers and old cold water tanks, we cover cement soffits, textured coatings and flue pipes and more.
Homes in Henley-on-Thames with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Henley-on-Thames
Do you cover Henley-on-Thames from London?
We cover Henley-on-Thames, about 35 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Henley-on-Thames homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Henley-on-Thames may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Henley-on-Thames?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Should you do it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
