How asbestos removal works in Ryeish Green
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. Common materials are flue pipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and typical jobs are vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and garage roofs and whole garages.
In Ryeish Green, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options
- Domestic and commercial work
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
After the job
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

What else we do in Ryeish Green
Where asbestos turns up
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
- Asbestos garages
- Cement flues and gutters
For rentals close to Reading Green Park station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
Questions to ask before booking
- The documents you’ll receive
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

In older properties in Ryeish Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan. For non-domestic buildings like Oakbank, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Do you cover small places like Ryeish Green?
