About our asbestos removal in Trash Green
Much of the asbestos found in homes is asbestos cement, textured coating or floor tiles. Work on these is normally non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, which still means proper controls. Common materials are gutters and downpipes, flue pipes and water tanks, and people generally contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like Trash Green, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

After we have finished:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Trash Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? The material and the job decide. See our guide to the three categories. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Why people call us in Trash Green
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: whatever the work will touch should come out first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Textured coatings
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
For non-domestic buildings like Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down

Your questions about asbestos removal in Trash Green
How far is Trash Green from London?
Trash Green is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Theale station?
Yes. Theale station is about 1.4 miles north-west of Trash Green, and we cover both.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises the public not to try, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
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. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I stay at home during removal?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs don’t normally affect you. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
