FAQs for Speenhamland
Do older homes in Speenhamland have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Newbury station?
Yes. Newbury station is about 0.7 miles south of Speenhamland, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How can I get a price?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do I need to move out?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note for your records.

After the job

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.

Materials we deal with
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials we see
- Panels and boards
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Gutters and downpipes
- Water tanks
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Soffits (cement)
Your options compared
Sealing or enclosing is sometimes possible, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
