Asbestos help in New Town
A closer look at the materials
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so it’s unbolted and lowered, not smashed.
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with sanders or grinders.
How asbestos removal works in New Town
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, which must be carried out by a contractor holding an HSE licence. We’ll tell you if your job in New Town falls into that category. Common materials are cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and floor tiles, and people generally contact us about Artex ceilings before renovation and asbestos found during building work.
In a village like New Town, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Book the replacement before removal

FAQs for New Town
Could my house in New Town contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

What else we do in New Town
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Where asbestos turns up
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and insulating board release fibres much more easily than asbestos cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Materials found mid-project
- Artex ceilings before renovation
Older buildings in New Town, near St Stephen's Church or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we identify materials before planning removal.
