How asbestos removal works in Rew Street

Typical jobs include debris left from a previous job and flue pipes, gutters and downpipes, including water tanks, textured coatings and flue pipes.
In Rew Street, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rew Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that seems too low: controls, equipment and legal disposal all cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Materials, one by one
Asbestos cement

It needs an HSE-licensed contractor and 14 days’ notice.

Rew Street questions
Do older homes in Rew Street have asbestos?
If your home in Rew Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Rew Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Where does the asbestos go?
It goes to a permitted site, properly packaged, with a registered carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
