Why Asbestos Is Common in Reading Properties

SafeZone Asbestos Solutions provides asbestos testing, removal and disposal across Reading, just a short drive from our base in Bracknell. Our UKATA-trained team works with homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses throughout the town.

Reading has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many modernised between the 1960s and 1980s, alongside large post-war estates in areas such as Whitley, Tilehurst and Lower Earley. Asbestos was widely used in building materials until it was fully banned in 1999, so we often find it in Artex ceilings, floor tiles, garage roofs, boiler flues, soil stacks and soffits.

Buying, selling or renovating? We take samples and send them to a UKAS-accredited laboratory, then explain the results in plain English.

All Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) Safely Managed

SafeZone is UKATA-trained to safely identify, sample and remove the asbestos-containing materials commonly found in UK properties built or refurbished before 2000. If testing finds a material that needs a specialist approach, we will explain your options clearly and arrange the right next step for you.

Bitumen Adhesive & Roofing Felt

Black bitumen adhesive under old floor tiles and asbestos roofing felt on sheds and garages. Lower-risk materials we can remove safely and cleanly.

Asbestos Roofing & Soffits

Typically found in corrugated roofing sheets, gutters, and soffit boards across garages, outbuildings, and industrial units. While lower risk when undisturbed, safe handling and removal are essential.

 

Asbestos Floor Tiles

Widely used in commercial and residential properties during the 1960s–80s. Both the tiles and the adhesive used can contain asbestos and must be handled with care.

Cisterns, Rope Seals & Gaskets

Older toilet cisterns and seats, plus rope seals and gaskets on boilers and heaters, can contain asbestos. We remove them in one piece wherever possible.

Artex & Textured Coatings

Decorative coatings applied before the 1990s may contain asbestos. Disturbing these surfaces can release fibres, so specialist management or removal is recommended.

 

Asbestos Cement Products

Commonly used in items such as gutters, downpipes, flues, water tanks, and cladding. Generally lower risk but still requires controlled removal and compliant disposal.

We follow a clear, safe, and fully compliant process to identify, remove, and dispose of asbestos materials, ensuring your property is protected at every stage.
