Asbestos removal in Winnersh
About our asbestos removal in Winnersh
You don’t always have to remove asbestos. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. From outbuildings with cement roofs and loft water tanks, we cover cement roof sheets, cement soffits and floor tiles and more.
In towns and villages like Winnersh, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, with access through the garden or drive. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

For businesses and landlords in Winnersh
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Winnersh must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Once we are done:
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
Things not to do
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Winnersh is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear the way to the work area

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common questions in Winnersh
Do older homes in Winnersh have asbestos?
If your home in Winnersh was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Winnersh from London?
We cover Winnersh, about 34 miles from central London.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Winnersh?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
Sometimes: licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board; cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
