Asbestos removal for Newnham
Asbestos removal near Newnham
Every removal job in Newnham is planned first: we work out the method, the controls, the waste and whether the work must be notified, before anyone starts. From floor tiles before a new floor and broken sheets in gardens, we cover floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Newnham, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Newnham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common questions in Newnham
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 1.2 miles east of Newnham, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Newnham have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Newnham can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
HSE advises the public not to try, and higher-risk materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Can asbestos be left in place?
In many cases it can stay: sound material that will not be disturbed can be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
What does removal cost?
Material, amount, condition, access and waste all affect the price. We quote each job individually.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

The process
We start by setting up and segregating the work area, and keep the material wet as we work. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. Outdoor removal in Newnham is planned to finish in daylight: 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 test the material if needed
- We plan the job and send a written quote
- On the day we set up, keep the material damp and remove it whole where we can
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roof sheets, gutters, downpipes, flues, soffits and water tanks. We wet it and take it down in whole pieces where we can.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is generally well bound.
Choosing the right option
What kind of work is it? It depends on what the material is and what’s being done. See our guide to the three categories. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:

- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
