Asbestos removal near Twyford
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. We often deal with gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and cement water tanks in lofts.
Homes in Twyford with bigger gardens can have more than one cement-roofed building, which can often be dealt with together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

For businesses and landlords in Twyford
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it might be made of
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Twyford: your questions answered
Do older homes in Twyford have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Twyford may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Twyford from London?
Twyford is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
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.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What affects the price in Twyford
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- Disposal costs
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- Where we could park
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Which option is right?
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. Our guide explains the difference, with links to HSE’s pages. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
