Asbestos removal across SL3
Asbestos removal starts with knowing what the material is. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, since the right method depends on what it is. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and old flues, involving gutters and downpipes, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
Once removal is finished, we clean and check the area, and we talk you through what was done.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- We test it if needed and plan the job
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- We remove it with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
Pricing in SL3
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Asbestos removal across SL3
From Langley, Upton and Datchet to small villages, SL3 has every kind of removal job. In towns, parking matters; in villages, access.
Langley: In a school like The Langley Academy Primary, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Langley, asbestos may be in later additions, so we test before we plan. Late-December sunset in Langley is about 3:55pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in SL3
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Options to consider in SL3
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, when everything has to wait for it to be dealt with.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Often it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is DIY asbestos removal allowed?
HSE advises against removing asbestos yourself. Licensed materials must only be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
