- Certified & Responsible: We carry a valid Waste Carriers Licence, which means all asbestos waste is handled, transported, and disposed of legally and responsibly, protecting both your property and the environment.
- Local & Experienced Team: Our skilled technicians are fully trained and bring years of hands-on experience to every job. They are experts at identifying, managing, and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a wide variety of properties, often right here in the Henley area.
- Transparent Pricing: You’ll receive clear, detailed quotes without any hidden fees. We believe you should know exactly what the job involves and what it will cost before we even begin.
- Comprehensive Service: We manage the entire process for you. This includes the initial inspection and testing, through to safe removal, secure disposal, and even any necessary reinstatement work to get your space back to normal.
- Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Experts: Whether it’s a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a comprehensive site survey for a factory, we have the skills and equipment to handle projects of any size and scale.
Identifying the location, type, and condition of any asbestos present is the crucial first step. Our thorough surveys give you the vital information needed to manage risk and meet legal requirements, whether it's for your health or a building project.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a home in Henley-on-Thames? This is an essential check before you complete your purchase. It helps identify any potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks, protecting your investment and your family's health.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We’ll identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a detailed report and register. This helps you manage these materials safely and meet your duties under CAR 2012.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work? A legally mandated, intrusive survey must be completed first. This ensures all asbestos is found and dealt with before work begins, preventing dangerous fibre release.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to monitor the condition of any previously identified asbestos. This keeps your management plan up-to-date and continuously ensures the safety of your building.
If you've spotted a material in your Henley property that you suspect contains asbestos, the most important thing is not to disturb it. Our qualified team can safely take a sample for you. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, giving you a definitive result and official certificate. Many buildings in Henley built or refurbished before the year 2000 might contain asbestos, as it was a very common building material. We commonly test materials such as:
- Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement products like garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Safe & Certified Asbestos Removal for Peace of Mind
Our core service revolves around the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all types of properties. Our trained team adheres to strict procedures. This includes carefully containing the work area, removing the hazardous materials, and leaving your property thoroughly clean and safe. While it's not illegal for a homeowner to remove small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement, it’s extremely hazardous if not done correctly. Without the right training, personal protective equipment (PPE), respiratory protective equipment (RPE), and approved disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself and others to dangerous fibres. We always recommend using a professional.
- Domestic Removal: We specialise in safely removing asbestos from residential properties, including garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimal disruption to your daily operations.
- Industrial Removal: We have the expertise to handle large-scale removal projects, such as asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings.
