How asbestos removal works in Windsor
After removal, the work area is cleaned and the waste is double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include gutters and downpipes, water tanks and floor tiles, and people normally contact us about old floor tiles and black adhesive and finds during refurbishment.
Homes and small businesses in areas like Windsor often have asbestos cement in roofs and outbuildings that need removing before work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Looking after things afterwards
If anything turns up during removal that wasn’t expected, we stop and tell you, because the plan may need to change.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Common questions in Windsor
Could my house in Windsor contain asbestos?
If your home in Windsor was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Windsor from London?
Windsor is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The right method depends on what the material is.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
