Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical materials include cement roof sheets, cement soffits and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old flues and cement water tanks in lofts.
Rural removal near Newfound can mean longer distances to carry waste, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What happens next
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is normally a separate job, so plan it before the removal date.
A few practical points:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
Things not to do
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Materials we deal with
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
Water tanks and flues
Cement water tanks and flues are drained or disconnected first, then removed whole or in as few pieces as possible.
The process
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, and keep the material wet as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. We plan outdoor jobs in Newfound to finish before dark: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what needs removing and send photos
- We identify it if needed and plan the method
- You get a written quote, including waste disposal
- The material is removed safely
- The area is cleaned and you get the consignment note
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Newfound
Is asbestos common in Newfound homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newfound can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Newfound and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes. Basingstoke station is about 3.5 miles east of Newfound, and we cover both.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What we deal with in Newfound
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to removal jobs:
- Old flues
- Old cold water tanks
- Asbestos found during building work
- Floor tiles before a new floor
For rentals close to Basingstoke station, removal fits neatly between tenancies.
