Asbestos removal near Newick
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement releases fibres when broken or cut, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
How asbestos removal works in Newick
Licensed work covers lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, and has to be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. We’ll tell you if your job in Newick falls into that category. Typical jobs include floor tiles before a new floor and textured coatings, involving water tanks, flue pipes and floor tiles.
In a village like Newick, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Newick questions
Could my house in Newick contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that won’t be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Newick?
Yes, if it hasn’t been tested: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What affects the price in Newick
These are the main things that affect the price of asbestos removal:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
