FAQs for Sheffield Bottom
Do you work near Theale station?
Yes, we cover Sheffield Bottom and the area towards Theale station, about 0.7 miles north-west.
Could my house in Sheffield Bottom contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Sheffield Bottom may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Sheffield Bottom?
Every job is priced individually: the material, the amount, its condition, access and the waste all matter.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What affects the price in Sheffield Bottom
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form; it helps us quote accurately.
Which option is right?
Should it come out? If the material is in good condition and will not be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Sheffield Bottom
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Loft water tanks
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Asbestos found during building work
Older buildings in Sheffield Bottom, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
