Asbestos removal for Sunnymead properties

For businesses and landlords in Sunnymead
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Sunnymead must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

FAQs for Sunnymead
Is asbestos common in Sunnymead homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford Parkway station?
Yes. Oxford Parkway station is about 1.4 miles north of Sunnymead, and we cover both.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What does removal cost?
There’s no fixed price: it depends on the material, quantity, condition, access and disposal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to move out?
That depends: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Sunnymead
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Cement flues and gutters
- Finds during refurbishment
- Asbestos garages

For non-domestic buildings like Cutteslowe Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
