Asbestos removal in Newbury

Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We will explain what applies to your job in Newbury. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and broken sheets in gardens, involving cement roof sheets, gutters and downpipes and water tanks.

In a village like Newbury, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, so we plan access across yards and fields. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Newbury properties and asbestos removal

Newbury is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We work across Newbury and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Newbury is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 14 miles away.

In a school like Rodmersham School, any removal is agreed with the duty holder and done while the area is out of use. In older buildings across Newbury, asbestos may be in later additions, so materials are identified first. Newbury is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; removing asbestos from rural buildings there follows the same rules, with access across yards and fields to plan.

This part of Kent takes in ME9, and your removal job can be anywhere in it. Neighbouring places we cover include Kingsdown (1 mile south), Dungate (1 mile south-west), Bapchild (1 mile north), Erriottwood (1 mile south-east) and Rodmersham Green (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also work in Maidstone (11 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (14 miles east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-west), Whitstable (12 miles east) and Faversham (5 miles east).

Nearby you’ll also find Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.4 miles north) and Newnham Castle (2.1 miles south-east).

Local schools include The Sittingbourne School (2 miles north)

Helpful guides

For landlords, agents and businesses

Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Which option is right?

Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Why people choose us

Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Reports and results you can share
Legal disposal, with paperwork

Newbury: your questions answered

Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.

Do you come out to small villages like Newbury?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Does all asbestos have to be removed?

Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.

Do you test before removing asbestos in Newbury?

If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.

Do you give written quotes?

Yes, always.

What paperwork will I get?

That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Good to know

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

Making good is normally a separate job
Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
