Areas we cover
Asbestos removal across SL6
Higher-risk materials such as pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We will tell you if your job in SL6 falls into that category. Typical materials include cement soffits, textured coatings and water tanks, and typical jobs are loft water tanks and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles.
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, then keep the material damp throughout.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We identify the material and work out whether the job is licensed, notifiable or non-licensed
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- On the agreed date we set up the work area and remove the material carefully
- We clean the area and send the consignment note

SL6: removal jobs of every size
Common removal jobs in SL6 include roofs, coatings, tiles, flues and tanks, from the bigger towns to the smallest villages.
Maidenhead: At a school such as Claires Court Schools, removal would be arranged with the duty holder, with the area empty. In older properties in Maidenhead, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first. Late-December sunset in Maidenhead is about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.
Afterwards
If licensed work is needed, a UKAS-accredited analyst carries out a four-stage clearance before the area is reoccupied.
- Share any survey or test results
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Book the replacement before removal
Don’t sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Ask any contractor how they’ll dispose of the waste, and ask for the consignment note.
Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Bitumen and felt
We remove them without cutting with power tools.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your questions about asbestos removal in SL6
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
Sometimes: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
