About asbestos removal in SL5
If your builder has found suspect material in SL5, stop work in that area and keep people away. We can test it and, if needed, plan its removal. We often deal with water tanks, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and typical jobs are old cold water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos.
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area.
- Get in touch with the details of the job
- We work out what category the work falls into
- We agree a date and any notification needed
- We set up the work area and remove the material
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note

Why people call us in SL5
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Windsor and Maidenhead may contain it.
In older properties, we often see:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Garage roof sheets
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The documents you’ll receive
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What’s included, and what is not
What’s in and what’s out:
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is typically separate
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling

Your questions about asbestos removal in SL5
What happens to the waste?
It’s double-bagged or wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
