Why people call us in Newington
Some asbestos is higher risk than other kinds: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, so their removal is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Artex ceilings before renovation
- Garage roof sheets
- Materials found mid-project
- Old cold water tanks
Older buildings in Newington, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- The documents you will receive

What affects the price in Newington
The price of asbestos removal depends mainly on:

FAQs for Newington
Could my house in Newington contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newington can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you need a licence to remove asbestos?
It varies: lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work, while most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
After we’ve finished in Newington
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, so future trades know about it.
A few practical points:
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Share any survey or test results
- Book the replacement before removal
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
What to avoid
Do not sweep, vacuum or brush up broken asbestos debris.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
