Common questions in Newington
How far is Newington from London?
Newington is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Newington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Newington may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need to move out?
It depends on the job: outdoor work rarely means leaving. Indoors, the work area is sealed and out of use while we work.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Newington?
It depends on the material, how much there is, its condition, access and disposal. Every job gets a written quote.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Unless it’s already been identified, yes: the way it’s removed depends on the material.
Your options compared
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but the asbestos is still there and needs recording for future work. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Other services in Newington
After we have finished in Newington
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
Keeping things safe:
- File the consignment note
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about any previous survey
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Things not to do
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Unidentified materials are tested before removal is planned
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

How we price asbestos removal
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:
- Material and condition
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- Damaged areas
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Why people call us in Newington

Typical jobs in Newington include:
- Asbestos found during building work
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Old cold water tanks
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
If you let property near Folkestone West station, void periods between tenants are a practical time for removal.

- Which areas and materials are covered
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
A closer look at the materials
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and nobody else enters the work area. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In winter, the light goes in Newington by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Share photos, the postcode and any survey or test you have
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- We quote in writing, including the waste
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
