Asbestos removal in Skinners Green
Common reasons for removal jobs in Skinners Green
Materials deteriorate with age: roofs crack, coatings flake and tiles come loose, which is when removal comes up.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Asbestos found during building work
- Old waste on site
In older properties in Skinners Green, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we test before we plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Asbestos removal near Skinners Green
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, but it still needs the right controls. Common materials are textured coatings, water tanks and gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are cement flues and gutters and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
In areas like Skinners Green, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

Do you cover Skinners Green and the area around Newbury station?

When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.

For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.

Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What paperwork will I get?
