Asbestos removal in Owlsmoor
Asbestos removal in Owlsmoor
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include garage roofs and whole garages and old flues, including gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and cement roof sheets.
Homes in Owlsmoor with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Owlsmoor

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
What happens next
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, because the plan may need to change.
Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Owlsmoor: your questions answered
Do older homes in Owlsmoor have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Owlsmoor may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Sandhurst station?
Yes. Sandhurst station is about 1.1 miles south-west of Owlsmoor, and we cover both.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Which option is right?
Licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed? The material and the job decide. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
