Asbestos Removal Contractors in Reading, Berkshire

Specialising in the removal, collection, and surveying of asbestos since 1998, Goodbye Asbestos delivers an efficient and affordable service for domestic and commercial property owners in and around Reading, Berkshire.

What is asbestos?
Originally found in rock over 5,000 years ago, asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. Due to its strong, flexible, and fire-resistant qualities, it was added to building materials used for construction purposes throughout the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Asbestos usage was banned in 1999, due to the hazard it poses to health.

Why is asbestos harmful?
Asbestos is mostly safe until it is broken up. When it gets broken up it releases tiny particles that are invisible to the naked eye. These particles can then be inhaled, where they act like barbs hooking into the lining of the lungs. Asbestos particles have been proven to cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other pleural diseases.

Are there different types of asbestos?
Yes, the different types of asbestos are crocidolite, amosite, and chrysotile. While they are all hazardous, crocidolite and amosite are the most dangerous due to being easy to crumble and thus making it easier for dangerous particles to be inhaled.

There is no definitive way to identify asbestos just by looking at it, so it's always best to seek professional asbestos sampling services.

Operating across the whole of Berkshire, Goodbye Asbestos is proud to provide asbestos services throughout the areas of Newbury, Caversham, Earley, Tilehurst, Sonning, Mapledurham, Shiplake, Woodley, Shinfield, Theale, Burghfield, Wargrave, and Tidmarsh.

We called Goodbye Asbestos for the removal and the replacement of our asbestos garage roof. Stephen and team done the job professionally and in impressive rapid time, considering also the amount of vegetation on top of the roof they need to remove and dispose before doing the main job.Very happy with the result, I definitely recommend this company.

Fantastic service with my recently replaced garage roof. From the start I found the company professional and efficient, the website easy to navigate and information easy to access. The lady in the office was helpful, efficient and friendly, as were the chaps who came to do the work and they tidied up afterwards. I felt I could trust the company and felt safe in their hands. It was a pleasure to find a company that clearly takes a pride in both their work and their customer satisfaction. I would wholeheartedly recommend Goodbye Asbestos as a gem of a company with great values.

    Asbestos garage and garage roof removals near Reading

    One of the most common construction areas that used asbestos before 2000 is garages. Particular areas that asbestos could be present include the insulation, lagging, and even the guttering. Should you discover that you have an asbestos garage in Reading, we can be on hand to offer a solution that suits you.

    Goodbye Asbestos can safely remove asbestos roofing sheets from your garage and replace them with GRP fibreglass roofing, which comes with a 20-year guarantee.

    Alternatively, we can dismantle and dispose of the entire garage should you prefer to completely clear the area. We will work with local electricians and plumbers to disconnect any electric and water supplies before carefully and considerately dismantling your garage and leaving the area tidy, clean, and uncontaminated for you to use straight away.

    We only ever dispose of asbestos at licensed, approved waste sites, and we will give you an Environment Agency mandated hazardous waste consignment note to prove that the disposal has been carried out through official channels.
