How asbestos removal works in New Romney
Asbestos materials are kept wet, taken out whole where we can, and never cut with power tools, so fibre release stays as low as possible. From sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos and old waste on site, we cover cement roof sheets, water tanks and flue pipes.
In towns and villages like New Romney, we often remove garage roofs and old sheds, reached through gardens and drives. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Weighing up your options
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
How we work in New Romney
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Records for your files
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory

Looking after any asbestos that remains:

Common questions in New Romney
Do older homes in New Romney have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in New Romney may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is New Romney from London?
New Romney is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you cover New Romney?
Yes, New Romney is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Floor tiles
The adhesive underneath sometimes needs its own approach.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We do not remove anything until it’s been identified
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Soffits (cement)
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes

Typical removal jobs in New Romney
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Old waste on site
- Finds during refurbishment
- Loft water tanks
- Textured coatings
On busy roads like the A259 and B2071, loading the waste needs planning, so mention it, as main roads can be restricted.
