Tyne Asbestos Removal Ltd: professional asbestos services in the North East of England

Tyne Asbestos Removal Ltd is a British company dedicated to asbestos removal, inspection and testing. Its work serves both domestic and commercial clients, ranging from private homes to offices, schools and industrial sites. The company presents itself as a licensed contractor for high-risk removal work and has staff trained and certified by UKATA.

Its area of operation extends across the North East of England and, as it states, it offers nationwide coverage in England and Wales, excluding Scotland and Ireland. Among the areas it lists are Northumberland, Middlesbrough, Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle and Sunderland.

Inspection, testing and removal services

The company structures its offering into several lines of work related to comprehensive asbestos management:

Surveys and inspections: management surveys for occupied buildings and refurbishment and demolition (R&D) surveys for properties due to undergo works. Reports identify materials, assess their condition and provide recommendations.
Testing and analysis: sampling and UKAS-accredited laboratory testing to determine the presence of asbestos in suspected materials such as insulation, ceiling tiles or floor coverings.
Licensed removal: safe removal of asbestos-containing materials using approved techniques, sealed enclosures and negative pressure systems. The company distinguishes between licensed (high-risk) and non-licensed (lower-risk) works, following HSE guidelines.
Waste management: collection, transport and disposal at licensed facilities. Waste is double-bagged, sealed and transported in compliance with environmental regulations, with complete documentation including consignment notes.
Encapsulation and management: when immediate removal is not necessary, it offers encapsulation (sealing in place) and ongoing management solutions to contain materials until full removal can be scheduled.
Air monitoring and certification: after removal, it carries out air testing and clearance inspections to confirm that fibre levels are safe and to issue the corresponding certification.

Asbestos-containing materials handled

The team states it has experience in identifying and removing the most common asbestos-containing materials in properties in the North East of England:

Asbestos cement sheets, both corrugated and flat, used in garage and shed roofs, warehouse cladding and façade panels.
Asbestos insulating boards (AIB), used in fire protection, ceilings, partitions and door panels; this is a high-risk material that requires licensed removal.
Textured coatings (Artex) applied before the year 2000 on ceilings and walls, which require testing before any scraping, sanding or removal.
Vinyl tiles, bituminous adhesives and asbestos-containing thermoplastic tiles, common in properties built between 1950 and 1980.
Thermal insulation on pipes, boilers and heating systems, common in older commercial and industrial buildings; its removal requires specialised techniques.
Soffits, eaves and asbestos cement gutters in older buildings, which the company removes and can replace with modern materials if requested.

Work process

The company describes a structured six-phase method for each project:

Initial consultation to assess the situation and determine whether testing, a survey or direct removal is appropriate.

Survey or testing to locate materials and confirm the presence of asbestos through laboratory analysis.

Risk assessment and planning, with method statements and determination of whether the work requires a licence.

Safe removal using approved techniques, enclosures, negative pressure for licensed works, personal protective equipment and controlled wetting.

Decontamination and post-removal testing, including air monitoring and visual inspection for licensed works, with a clearance certificate.

Disposal and documentation, with transport to licensed facilities and provision of waste transfer notes, certificates and any required notifications.
