Asbestos removal for Silver Street properties
We remove asbestos from homes, rented property and commercial buildings across Silver Street: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. Whether it’s materials found mid-project and loft water tanks, we deal with gutters and downpipes, cement soffits and cement roof sheets and more.
In a village like Silver Street, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What else we do in Silver Street
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Silver Street, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, which is usually well bound.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you test before removing asbestos in Silver Street?

HSE’s advice is not to do it yourself, and licensed materials must only be handled by a licensed contractor.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
