Asbestos removal for Gold Street properties
Removal is not always the answer. If it’s sound and not in the way, it may be better left, and we will say so. Common materials are floor tiles, cement roof sheets and gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about floor tiles before a new floor and Artex before plastering.
In a village like Gold Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

How it works
On the day, we set up the work area first: barrier tape, signs and protection where needed, then keep the material damp throughout. The work area is kept clear while we’re working. In winter, the light goes in Gold Street by about 3:50pm, so we start outdoor work early in the day.
- Describe the material and send pictures
- If it hasn’t been identified, we sample it first
- We plan the method, controls, waste and any notification, and send a quote
- We remove the material with controls to keep fibres down
- The area is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with paperwork
Getting ready
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Ensure we can get to the area

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the waste still has to go to a permitted site with the right paperwork. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
