Common reasons for removal jobs in Yattendon
Old materials break down over time: cement sheets become brittle, coatings crack and tiles lift, which is often when people decide to remove them.
These come up again and again:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Old waste on site
In a school like Yattendon C.E. Primary School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use.

Questions from Yattendon
Do you cover small places like Yattendon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Yattendon?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
