Asbestos in Stevenage
Stevenage holds the distinction of being the first town designated under the New Towns Act of 1946, and it was built around Britain's first pedestrianised town centre. The bulk of its housing dates from the 1950s to 70s, when asbestos insulating board, cement soffits, textured coatings and garage roofs were standard specification. The historic Old Town high street adds a layer of earlier housing where artex and asbestos cement also turn up.
Whatever you’re dealing with, we make Stevenage 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 Stevenage: FAQs
My Stevenage new-town house dates from the 1960s — could it contain asbestos?
It very likely could. As the first of the post-war new towns, much of Stevenage was built in the 1950s and 60s when asbestos insulating board, cement soffits and textured coatings were routine. A survey before any renovation tells you exactly what your particular home holds.
Do you handle asbestos disposal as well as removal in Stevenage?
We do — all asbestos waste we remove across Stevenage is double-bagged, labelled and taken to a licensed disposal site, with a waste transfer note provided. You never have to deal with the waste or the paperwork yourself.
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.
