Typical removal jobs in Brook Street
Refurbishment and demolition are the most common reasons for removal: anything the work would disturb should be dealt with first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Old waste on site
- Floor tiles before a new floor
- Asbestos found during building work
- Cement flues and gutters
Older buildings in Brook Street, near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The method and controls
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Notifiable work has to be notified before it starts, so the timing needs planning
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- We don’t remove anything until it’s been identified
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
