Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- What the material is and its state
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
- How much waste there is
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Damaged areas
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The parking area
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Asbestos removal for Hollington properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. People often contact us about cement flues and gutters and finds during refurbishment, including cement roof sheets, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Hollington, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.

- Let us know where we can park

What to avoid

Questions from Hollington
Do you cover Hollington and the area around Kintbury station?
Yes, we cover Hollington and the area towards Kintbury station, about 4.9 miles north-west.
How far is Hollington from London?
We cover Hollington, about 57 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the method depends on what the material is.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East

Common reasons for removal jobs in Hollington
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roof sheets
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Finds during refurbishment
In older properties in Hollington, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.

Duty holders and landlords in Hollington
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hollington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
