Asbestos removal in Newtown
Found asbestos during building work in Newtown? Stop work in that area and keep people away. We’ll identify it and plan what happens next. From vinyl and thermoplastic tiles and loft water tanks, we cover floor tiles, cement soffits and flue pipes and more.
In a village like Newtown, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Large-scale steam or gel removal must be notified.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Making good is normally a separate job

Duty holders and landlords in Newtown
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for removal jobs in Newtown
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so buildings across Kent built or refurbished before 2000 can contain it.
These come up again and again:
- Old sheds and coal bunkers
- Broken sheets in gardens
- Asbestos garages
- Old cold water tanks
Landlords near Hever station often time removal for when a property is empty.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Questions from Newtown
Do you cover Newtown from London?
Newtown is about 24 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Hever station?
Yes. Hever station is about 1 mile north-west of Newtown, and we cover both.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Newtown?
If it hasn’t been identified, yes. The removal method depends on the material.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Which option is right?
DIY removal might look cheaper, but HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

- Across London and the South East
