Common reasons for removal jobs in Brewer Street
Most removal happens because building work would disturb asbestos: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old flues
- Asbestos found during building work
- Loft water tanks
- Broken sheets in gardens
In older properties in Brewer Street, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so materials are identified first.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Some old roof felts and bitumen products contain asbestos, usually tightly bound.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
For businesses and landlords in Brewer Street
For managing agents and freeholders in Brewer Street, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
Avoid these
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris.
Don’t jet-wash, sand, drill or cut asbestos materials.
