Asbestos in Cheltenham
Cheltenham is a Regency spa town renowned for its elegant terraces, crescents and the famous racecourse and festivals. Beyond the grand stucco frontages lie Victorian terraces and post-war estates that used asbestos insulating board, lagging and asbestos cement. Period flats and houses across the town commonly contain artex, textured ceilings and asbestos cement soffits from later modernisation.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Cheltenham properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.

Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Cheltenham: FAQs
Are Cheltenham's Regency conversions likely to contain asbestos?
Often, yes. Cheltenham's grand period houses were widely split into flats and modernised from the 1960s onwards, leaving artex, AIB and floor tiles. A refurbishment survey before any work identifies these materials, which is a legal requirement before disturbance.
Can you survey commercial premises in central Cheltenham?
Yes. Offices, shops and converted buildings across central Cheltenham frequently contain asbestos in ceiling and floor tiles, and the law requires a management survey for all non-domestic premises. We provide a clear register and a practical management plan.
Do I need a licensed contractor to remove asbestos?
It depends on the material. High-risk items like pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and asbestos insulating board need an HSE-licensed contractor. Lower-risk items such as cement sheets and floor tiles can be removed under non-licensed controls. We are licensed for both and will tell you which applies.
Can I stay in the property during removal?
For small non-licensed jobs, often yes, with the work area sealed off. For licensed removal inside the home we usually recommend vacating the affected zone until the clearance certificate is issued. We plan the safest sequence around you.
