Asbestos Removal in Northampton
For safe, compliant asbestos removal in Northampton, our HSE-licensed and non-licensed teams handle everything from a single garage roof to a full strip-out across East Midlands.
Asbestos in Northampton
Northampton was the centre of England's boot and shoe trade, leaving distinctive factory buildings and Victorian terraces across the town. Post-war expansion under new-town status added system-built estates such as Eastfield and Lings with asbestos insulating board and cement products. The terraced and interwar homes commonly contain artex, asbestos cement garage roofs and old floor tiles.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Northampton 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 Northampton: FAQs
Do Northampton's old shoe factories contain asbestos?
Often — the town's surviving boot and shoe factories frequently retain asbestos cement roofs, lagging and AIB linings. Any conversion or demolition of these Northampton buildings requires a refurbishment and demolition survey first, which we carry out comprehensively.
Can you remove an asbestos garage roof in Northampton?
Yes — corrugated asbestos cement garage roofs are common across Northampton's estates, and removal is usually non-licensed work starting from around £350 to £700. We dispose of all sheets at a licensed site and provide a waste transfer note.
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.
