Asbestos removal for Newbury's properties
Asbestos removal in Newbury's covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Typical jobs include materials found mid-project and floor tiles before a new floor, including cement soffits, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Rural removal near Newbury's can mean longer distances to carry waste, so the route is planned in advance. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common questions in Newbury's
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Newbury's from London?
Newbury's is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Where does the asbestos go?
It’s sealed, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with a consignment note as your record.
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.
After we have finished in Newbury's
Any asbestos left elsewhere should stay on record, so future trades know about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Book the replacement before removal
- File the consignment note
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Avoid these
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.
For businesses and landlords in Newbury's
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
