Asbestos removal in Huntercombe
How asbestos removal works in Huntercombe
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. Common materials are flue pipes, textured coatings and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are garage roof sheets and finds during refurbishment.
Homes in Huntercombe with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. We only recommend work that is needed.

Common questions in Huntercombe
Do older homes in Huntercombe have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Huntercombe and the area around Burnham station?
Yes. Burnham station is close to the centre of Huntercombe, and we cover the whole area.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work in Huntercombe?
Yes, Huntercombe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What does removal cost?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

The scope of asbestos removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Typical removal jobs in Huntercombe
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Slough may contain it.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Artex before plastering
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
Older buildings in Huntercombe, near St. Andrew's Shared Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

After the job
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
Don’ts
