Asbestos in Newbury
Newbury is a prosperous Berkshire market town, historically a cloth-trade centre, now ringed by interwar and post-war housing and modern technology-led estates. Its older terraces, mid-century homes and converted commercial buildings commonly contain artex, asbestos insulating board, vinyl floor tiles and asbestos cement garages and soffits.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Newbury properties safe the right way — identified, proven in the lab, and either contained or removed with paperwork that satisfies lenders, buyers and the HSE.

Four steps to certainty
Plan
We produce a plan of work (or notify the HSE for licensed jobs), method statement and risk assessment specific to your site.
Enclose
Work areas are sealed in controlled enclosures under negative pressure so no fibre escapes.
Remove
Operatives in full RPE strip and double-bag material, decontaminating as they go.
Clear
An independent analyst runs the 4-stage clearance and issues the certificate of reoccupation. Waste leaves on consignment notes.
Asbestos Removal in Newbury: FAQs
Do I need an asbestos survey before refurbishing a Newbury property?
Yes — any work that disturbs the fabric of a pre-2000 Newbury building requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first. It identifies AIB, artex and lagging before walls come down and is a legal requirement.
Can you test a single suspect material in Newbury?
Yes — single-sample testing is usually £50 to £80 per sample with UKAS-accredited analysis and a clear written result, often back within 24 hours. We sample under controlled conditions.
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.
