Asbestos Removal Berkshire
For homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Berkshire — from Reading and Slough to Newbury, Maidenhead, and Wokingham — encountering Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) is a serious issue that requires immediate, expert attention. As an independent asbestos consultancy based in the Home Counties, AAC Ltd. provides trusted, compliant, and professional solutions for non-licensed asbestos removal Berkshire.
We deliver end-to-end asbestos management services, including surveys, testing, safe removal, and disposal. Our focus is on protecting health, ensuring legal compliance, and providing complete peace of mind.
Why Professional Asbestos Removal Matters
Asbestos was widely used in UK construction before 2000, meaning thousands of Berkshire properties still contain it. When disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne — invisible yet deadly. Inhalation can cause severe illnesses such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis, and lung cancer.
For any property containing ACMs, engaging qualified experts for non-licensed asbestos removal Berkshire is not just good practice — it’s essential for health and legal compliance.
Where Asbestos Is Commonly Found in Berkshire Properties
In many older Berkshire homes and commercial buildings, asbestos can still be found in:
-
Garage and shed roofs (cement sheets)
-
Textured coatings (Artex) on ceilings and walls
-
Floor tiles and adhesive
-
Pipe lagging and boiler insulation
-
Soffits, flues, and water tanks
Even minor damage to these materials can release harmful fibres. That’s why safe, professional asbestos removal Berkshire is vital before renovation, demolition, or maintenance work begins.
Legal Compliance – The Duty to Manage Asbestos
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), anyone responsible for non-domestic premises — landlords, business owners, and property managers — has a legal “Duty to Manage” asbestos safely.
This includes identifying asbestos, assessing risk, maintaining records, and arranging removal or encapsulation where necessary. Failing to comply can result in prosecution, project delays, or costly remediation later.
AAC Ltd. ensures every aspect of your non-licensed asbestos removal Berkshire project meets the strict UK regulatory framework.
