Asbestos removal in South Moreton
About our asbestos removal in South Moreton
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If nobody has tested it, we take a sample first, since the right method depends on what it is. People often contact us about materials found mid-project and textured coatings, including cement soffits, water tanks and floor tiles.
In towns and villages like South Moreton, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

A closer look at the materials
Insulating board and lagging
Work on sprayed coatings, and most work on lagging and asbestos insulating board, is licensed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Which option is right?
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Clear advice on your options
- No removal until we know what it is
- Reports and results you can share
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
South Moreton questions
Do older homes in South Moreton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Cholsey station?
Yes, we cover South Moreton and the area towards Cholsey station, about 2 miles south-east.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not typically affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you test before removing asbestos in South Moreton?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
