About our asbestos removal in Sulhamstead
In homes, in Sulhamstead as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with textured coatings, gutters and downpipes and cement soffits, and people typically contact us about materials found mid-project and old cold water tanks.
In places like Sulhamstead, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Common questions in Sulhamstead
Do you cover Sulhamstead and the area around Theale station?
Yes, we cover Sulhamstead and the area towards Theale station, about 1.6 miles north-east.
Could my house in Sulhamstead contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What affects the price in Sulhamstead
The cost depends on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Parking and access charges
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Photos that help
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- Visible markings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How it works
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In winter, the light goes in Sulhamstead by about 4:00pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- We clean up, dispose of the waste legally and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
Getting a price
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
They’re removed by hand.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Where asbestos turns up
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across West Berkshire may contain it.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old cold water tanks
- Materials found mid-project
- Garage roof sheets
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
In older buildings across Sulhamstead, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What we do and don’t cover
So you know what to expect:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is usually separate
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Panels and boards
- Water tanks
- Bitumen roof felt
- Flue pipes
- Garage and shed roofs
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Artex and textured coatings
- Floor tiles and adhesive
Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Going forward:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
