For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Asbestos removal for Gilbert Street properties
In homes, in Gilbert 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 loft water tanks and sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos, we deal with floor tiles, cement soffits and water tanks.
In Gilbert Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials, one by one
Textured coatings
We soften coatings and remove them wet, never sanding or dry scraping. Larger-scale steam or gel removal is notifiable non-licensed work.
Water tanks and flues
Gas appliances must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer before a flue is removed.
How it works
Our team uses disposable coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else enters the work area. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Outdoor removal in Gilbert Street is planned to finish in daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, while in June it stays light until about 9:25pm.

Why people call us in Gilbert Street
Not all asbestos materials are equal: lagging and board release fibres far more readily than cement, which is why that work is licensed.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage roofs and whole garages
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Debris left from a previous job
- Old floor tiles and black adhesive
Older buildings in Gilbert Street, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, may have asbestos in later alterations rather than the original fabric, so materials are identified first.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What is not included
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Some jobs must be notified first, so the timing needs planning
- Making good is normally a separate job
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about asbestos removal in Gilbert Street
Do you come out to small villages like Gilbert Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Gilbert Street contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Gilbert Street may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Where does the asbestos go?
We bag or wrap it, label it and take it to a permitted site, and you receive the consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need my asbestos tested before removal?
Yes, unless it’s already been tested. The right method depends on what the material is.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Ask to see the waste paperwork. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
