How asbestos removal works in Newnham
In homes, in Newnham as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. Work on these is typically non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls. We often deal with flue pipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets, and typical jobs are cement water tanks in lofts and asbestos found during building work.
In Newnham, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Cement products make up most removal jobs: roofs, gutters, flues and tanks. It’s kept damp and removed whole where possible.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
Choosing the right option
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and disposal still has to be done properly. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
