Why people call us in Newtown
Some owners remove visible asbestos before a sale or letting, though in good condition it doesn’t always need to go.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Materials found mid-project
- Old flues
In older buildings across Newtown, asbestos may be in later additions, so we identify materials before planning removal.
What your quote should include
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
How asbestos removal works in Newtown
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. From old cold water tanks and old flues, we deal with floor tiles, water tanks and cement roof sheets and more.
In places like Newtown, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Newtown, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

So you know what to expect:
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Should it come out? Sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay; if it’s damaged or in the way of work, removal is typically right. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Clear advice on your options

After the job
Unexpected finds are discussed with you before we carry on, as the method may need to change.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the consignment note
- Plan any replacement work before the removal date
- Send photos of the material and the access
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
Don’t let anyone remove asbestos without asking how the waste will be disposed of.

Newtown questions
Is asbestos common in Newtown homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Newtown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos removal licensed?
It depends on the material and the job. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed work; lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
