Asbestos removal for Sindlesham properties
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, and you get the waste paperwork. From cement water tanks in lofts and textured coatings, we cover cement roof sheets, flue pipes and gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Sindlesham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Wokingham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Materials found mid-project
For non-domestic buildings like Bearwood Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.

Questions from Sindlesham
Do you cover Sindlesham and the area around Winnersh station?
Yes, we cover Sindlesham and the area towards Winnersh station, about 0.7 miles north-east.
Could my house in Sindlesham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Sindlesham can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials need a licensed contractor.
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 you test before removing asbestos in Sindlesham?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
For businesses and landlords in Sindlesham
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and disposal still has to be done properly. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
