Need asbestos removal in Newport?
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Asbestos removal near Newport
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include cement flues and gutters and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, involving flue pipes, water tanks and textured coatings.
In a town like Newport, removal jobs are often garage roofs, sheds, flues, tanks and textured coatings in homes, often ahead of building work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What happens
Waste is double-bagged or wrapped in heavy polythene and labelled as we go, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In winter, the light goes in Newport by about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.

Helpful guides
Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Floor tiles
Black bitumen adhesive may need treating separately.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens next
Replacement work is normally separate, so plan it in advance.
After we have finished:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
What to avoid
Do not start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Disposal costs
- The size of the job
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
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
For a quick quote, include:
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Newport
Could my house in Newport contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to move out?
Outdoor work rarely affects you indoors. Indoor work areas are sealed off and kept clear while the work is done.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Replacing what’s removed, such as a roof or ceiling, is generally separate
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
