Asbestos removal near South Street
Asbestos removal for South Street properties
Removal isn’t always the answer. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Typical jobs include old cold water tanks and garage roofs and whole garages, involving floor tiles, cement roof sheets and cement soffits.
In places like South Street, outbuildings and farm buildings are common removal jobs, so we plan access across yards and fields. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in South Street were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Afterwards
Making good, such as a new roof or ceiling, is generally a separate job, so plan it in advance.
Going forward:
- Photos of the material and the route in help
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Share any survey or test results
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
Don’ts
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
Don’t put asbestos in household bins or skips.

Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

Materials, one by one
Floor tiles
Tiles come up whole where we can, with hand tools, never with power tools.
Asbestos cement
Breaking or cutting cement releases fibres, so we unfix and lower it rather than breaking it.
Which option is right?
Remove, or leave and manage? If the material is in good condition and won’t be disturbed, leaving it can be the safer and cheaper option; if it’s damaged or the work will disturb it, removal makes sense. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
