How asbestos removal works in Brownbread Street
In homes, in Brownbread Street as elsewhere, the usual materials are cement products, textured coatings and floor tiles. HSE treats work on these as non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed in most cases, which still means proper controls. Whether it’s Artex ceilings before renovation and floor tiles before a new floor, we deal with cement roof sheets, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Brownbread Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so the route is planned in advance. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Other services in Brownbread Street
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Insulating board and lagging
That work must be done by a contractor holding an HSE licence, with notification 14 days ahead.
Textured coatings
Textured coatings are removed with wet or gel methods, never dry-scraped or sanded. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
After the job
After removal, the work area is cleaned, and you receive the waste paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Book the replacement before removal
Things not to do
Deal with asbestos before the builders start.
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
