Asbestos removal in Shillingford
Asbestos removal for Shillingford properties
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. From Artex ceilings before renovation and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Shillingford, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
After the job
Once the material is removed, the area is cleaned, and you get the consignment note showing where the waste went.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
What to avoid
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What affects the price in Shillingford
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Photos often save us a visit:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- Cracks or breaks
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Your questions about asbestos removal in Shillingford
Do you cover Shillingford and the area around Cholsey station?
Yes, we cover Shillingford and the area towards Cholsey station, about 4.3 miles south.
Could my house in Shillingford contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shillingford can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what asbestos removal covers, and what it does not:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
