Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

What we deal with in Woodley
Until 1999, asbestos went into many building products, so pre-2000 buildings across Wokingham may contain it.
These are some of the things we deal with in Woodley:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Materials found mid-project
- Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles
For properties on main roads such as the A4 and A3290, we plan parking and loading in advance, as main roads can be restricted.

Woodley: your questions answered
Could my house in Woodley contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Woodley from London?
We cover Woodley, about 35 miles from central London.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can asbestos be left in place?
It doesn’t always have to come out: 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.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How it works
Materials are released carefully and removed whole where possible, without breaking, dropping or power tools. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Woodley is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We test the material if needed
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Afterwards
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
