About our asbestos removal in Newington Butts
Every removal job in Newington Butts is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified. From old sheds and coal bunkers and asbestos garages, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Newington Butts, outbuildings are often only reachable through a house or lane, so we plan how to get the waste out. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

A closer look at the materials
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Newington Butts
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Greater London built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Garage roof sheets
- Cement water tanks in lofts
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex before plastering
For properties on main roads such as the A302 and A3202, we plan parking and loading in advance.
What to look for in a quote
- The method and controls
- Any exclusions
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Which option is right?
Removing asbestos before building work avoids stopping the job halfway, rather than halting work when it’s found. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Reports and results you can share
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Questions from Newington Butts
Do you work in Newington Butts despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Could my house in Newington Butts contain asbestos?
Any home in Newington Butts built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
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.

Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep everyone else out of the work area. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. In winter, the light goes in Newington Butts by about 3:55pm, so outdoor jobs start early.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
