About our asbestos removal in Little Heath
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we deal with cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits and more.
In a smaller place like Little Heath, removal is often a garage roof, a shed or an outbuilding, with access through the garden or drive. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Little Heath properties and asbestos removal
Little Heath is about 3 miles west of Reading, in Oxfordshire. Little Heath has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We cover all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire.
At a school such as Birch Copse Primary School, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. Older buildings in Little Heath, near St Catherine of Siena or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

What else we do in Little Heath
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
For businesses and landlords in Little Heath
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you run a business from older premises in Little Heath, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
After the job
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it before the removal date.
After we have finished:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
FAQs for Little Heath
Could my house in Little Heath contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Little Heath can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Tilehurst station?
Yes. Tilehurst station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Little Heath, and we cover both.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Outdoor removal in Little Heath is planned to finish in daylight: that means by about 3:55pm in December, or about 9:25pm in June.

Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
