Asbestos removal in Newtown
A closer look at the materials
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Water tanks and flues
Tanks and flues are disconnected first, then removed with minimal breakage.
Asbestos removal in Newtown
We keep materials damp, remove them whole where possible and never use power tools on them, to keep fibre release as low as possible. Common materials are water tanks, floor tiles and flue pipes, and typical jobs are old flues and floor tiles before a new floor.
In areas like Newtown, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common reasons for removal jobs in Newtown
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, although sound material can often stay.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Outbuildings with cement roofs
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Materials found mid-project
- Floor tiles before a new floor
Older buildings in Newtown, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so we test before we plan.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How fibres will be kept down
- What paperwork you get
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- How many samples are needed
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
Questions from Newtown
Is asbestos common in Newtown homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Newtown may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Portchester station?
Yes, we cover Newtown and the area towards Portchester station, about 4.4 miles south.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often it can stay: if it’s in good condition and out of the way, it can stay. Record it and keep an eye on it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens next
If the job is licensed, it ends with a four-stage clearance by a UKAS-accredited analyst and a certificate of reoccupation.
After we’ve finished:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Things not to do
Do not let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of, and ask for the consignment note.
Don’t start building work before asbestos the work will disturb has been dealt with.
Choosing the right option
Covering or sealing asbestos is sometimes an alternative to removal, but it remains in place and has to be recorded. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Domestic and commercial work
Duty holders and landlords in Newtown
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The process
As each piece comes out, it’s bagged or wrapped and labelled, then loaded for disposal at a permitted site. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Newtown is about 4:00pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Start with photos, the postcode and any existing reports
- We confirm what the material is and what category of work it falls into
- A written quote follows, covering method, controls and disposal
- We set up, keep the material damp and take it out whole where we can
- Everything is cleaned up, and the waste paperwork follows
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
