About our asbestos removal in Old Windsor
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Typical jobs include sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and floor tiles before a new floor, including water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
Homes in Old Windsor with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Which option is right?
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- No removal until we know what it is
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it

Old Windsor questions
How far is Old Windsor from London?
We cover Old Windsor, about 21 miles from central London.
Do you cover Old Windsor and the area around Sunnymeads station?
Yes. Sunnymeads station is about 1.3 miles north-east of Old Windsor, and we cover both.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Not always. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Old Windsor?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
