Asbestos removal across RG42
Removal is planned, not improvised: the method, the controls, the waste and any notification needed, before anyone starts. People often contact us about garage roof sheets and broken sheets in gardens, including gutters and downpipes, floor tiles and textured coatings.
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout.
- 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
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note
What it costs in RG42

Removing asbestos in RG42
Common removal jobs in RG42 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Priestwood: Older buildings in Priestwood, near St Andrew or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first. For non-domestic buildings like Meadow Vale Primary School, removal is planned with the duty holder and timed for when the area is empty. Late-December sunset in Priestwood is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
What it might be made of
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, which is normally well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Why people call us in RG42
Sometimes damage forces the issue, especially if broken material is lying around.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Loft water tanks
- Garage roof sheets
- Floor tiles before a new floor
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Afterwards
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let us know where we can park
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is normally separate
Questions from RG42
Do you cover RG42?
Yes. We cover RG42 and the surrounding area as part of Bracknell Forest. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I stay at home during removal?
That depends: outdoor jobs do not generally affect you. For indoor work, the area is closed off and kept clear until we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
