Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it proves legal disposal.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book the replacement before removal
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- File the consignment note
What to avoid
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
What we do and don’t cover
It’s worth knowing what asbestos removal does and does not cover:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Duty holders and landlords in Newnham Murren
For managing agents and freeholders in Newnham Murren, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Newnham Murren questions
Do older homes in Newnham Murren have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Newnham Murren and the area around Cholsey station?
Yes, we cover Newnham Murren and the area towards Cholsey station, about 2.5 miles south-west.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
