Asbestos removal for Watersfield properties
Removal is planned, not improvised: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From old waste on site and old sheds and coal bunkers, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and gutters and downpipes and more.
In Watersfield, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What else we do in Watersfield
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How it works
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Watersfield is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork

Helpful guides
Your options compared
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Reports and results you can share
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste paperwork for every removal
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Send photos of the material and the access
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.

Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Cracks or breaks
- The parking area

Typical jobs in Watersfield include:

Older buildings in Watersfield, near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.

Watersfield: your questions answered
Do older homes in Watersfield have asbestos?
Any home in Watersfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Watersfield from London?
Watersfield is about 44 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Can I stay at home during removal?
For outdoor jobs, you can normally stay put. Indoor work areas are kept closed off until finished.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material and the job. Cement and textured coatings are generally non-licensed; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
