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.

Had this company come round to remove an asbestos flue form our loft. Superb service, above and beyond. Tidy, punctual, friendly and efficient. Hopefully I will not need their services again, but if I do I would book without hesitation. One day all companies will work like this, many thanks. Andy.
Samantha Thomas
Great communication with Josh. And fitted me in with an appointment quickly. His team were very quick moving the asbestos. Room is now clear and free from asbestos.

Thank you goodbye asbestos.

Josh graciously took my panicked call and looked at some photos, late in the afternoon, after the ceiling in my rental collapsed due to a water leak and I was extremely anxious there was asbestos present and therefore presenting an immediate health hazard. He was very patient, explained his thoughts and provided much needed reassurance I didn’t need to
immediately book into a hotel. Thank you
Miro
Goodbye Asbestos did a really great job. The roof was finished to a very high standard, but what really stood out was the attention to detail—not just on the roof itself, but all around it.

The areas around the guttering were done very neatly, and when the old brickwork was removed, it was replaced with timber panels fitted with minimal gaps. Everything looks clean and solid. The guttering was also finished to a high quality and looks like it’ll last a long time. (Note the foam around beams was done by myself.)

The materials seem reliable, and with the long warranty included, we feel confident the roof will hold up well. On top of that, the team were friendly, polite, and easy to deal with.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend them if you’re looking for solid, professional work done by decent people.

Geoff came round to my flat this morning to clear out some asbestos tiles that had been left in our basement by some previous dodgy tradespeople. He was reassuring, efficient, tidy and pleasant. Got the job done in a couple of hours, talked me through the process and explained about the cleaning process. Would definitely use this team again.
Amanda Collier
Great service from the entire team. Very quick at responding and making things clear. The guys who came out were punctual and very professional & friendly. I’ve used their services twice this year!

Peter Danks
3rd Epsom Scouts - Stephen and Oscar have done an excellent job of removing the 200sq metre asbestos roof and replacing it with a new metal roof, facias and guttering which will ensure the scouts can continue using the building for years to come. They were polite, on time, and kept me informed throughout. I would happily recommend.
Adam Paffett
Charlie and James came by last week to remove my damaged asbestos garage roof. They were prompt, professional, and friendly throughout the process. I’d happily choose Goodbye Asbestos again if I ever need similar work done!

Really happy with Goodbye Asbestos!

Geoff and Mohammed came round earlier this week and removed my artex ceilings.

They were professional, quick and efficient.

Top service start to finish!

We’ve had a very positive experience with Goodbye Asbestos so far. The survey was done efficiently, and the team was very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. They explained everything clearly and made us feel confident in the process. We’ve already booked them for the asbestos removal and are looking forward to working with them again. Highly recommended!
Sue Whitehead
Demolished and disposed of my asbestos roofed garage. A very professional and tidy job. Would highly recommend.
Courtlands Manager
Absolutely fabulous. We had an urgent job and Josh and Ellie were super helpful and facilitated us quickly. The job was done efficiently and the results came back quicker than expected. I'm very happy to recommend this company and we will certainly go back to them with any asbestos related issues we have in the future. Thank you!
Nicky Watts
Stephen and Oscar were very efficient in removing the old roof of my garage and replacing it with a new one, in addition to replacing 3 of the timber beams and front guttering - all done in 4 hours! They were very personable, and also accommodating when I had a follow up query. I would definitely recommend Goodbye Asbestos.
Sam
Faultless experience for three asbestos tests, highly communicative throughout, easy to deal with and a quick service. Would recommend.
Rich Murphy
Steve, Lewis, and Oscar reroofed our single garage today, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their work ethic and professionalism were outstanding, and they were an exceptional team to have on board. As the images show, they completed the roofing job to an impressive standard in an incredibly timely manner.

After finishing, they gave me a walkthrough of their work and provided valuable advice on maintaining airflow in the garage to prevent dampness. Knowing I plan to convert the garage into a gym, they even suggested solutions to facilitate this transformation.

What impressed me the most was their efficiency, politeness, and dedication to the job. Despite the less-than-ideal weather conditions—rain began as soon as they arrived—they remained unfazed and did everything possible to keep the garage dry. They also safely removed the asbestos, leaving no trace behind, and conducted a thorough cleanup after completing the project.

I wholeheartedly recommend them for their quality work and professionalism. They definitely deserve a 5-star rating from me.

    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.
