DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement is the most common material we remove: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, generally tightly bound.
Wanborough questions
Is asbestos common in Wanborough homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wanborough may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Wanborough from London?
We cover Wanborough, about 31 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor jobs do not normally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we’ve finished.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What happens to the waste?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
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?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Typical removal jobs in Wanborough
Damage from DIY, storms or accidents can make removal necessary, especially if broken material is lying around.
Typical jobs in Wanborough include:
- Loft water tanks
- Cement flues and gutters
- Materials found mid-project
- Asbestos garages
Older buildings in Wanborough, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.

Weighing up your options
