Our Asbestos Removal Process

We take every precaution to remove asbestos safely, using industry-approved methods and protective measures. Our process includes:

 

1. Site Visit and Risk Assessment

Before commencing any work, our qualified Asbestos Contracts Managers will conduct a comprehensive site visit and risk assessment. This process involves identifying asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that require removal and determining the necessary measures to ensure the work is carried out safely.

We evaluate the type, condition, and risk level of the asbestos materials to establish the most appropriate removal method. This thorough assessment enables us to develop a detailed, site-specific plan of works and risk assessment, ensuring full compliance with Health and Safety at Work at 1974 and The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. 

 

2. Notification & Compliance

For certain asbestos removal projects, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) requires a minimum of 14 days' prior notification, as mandated by law. Other works may necessitate at least 24 hours' notification to the HSE, while some projects do not require any notification at all.

Our team ensures full compliance with all regulatory requirements, determining the appropriate notification period based on the specific nature of the asbestos removal works.

​

3. Containment & Safety Measures

To prevent asbestos fibres from becoming airborne, we:

✔ Set up specialist containment areas with sealed enclosures

✔ Use negative pressure units/Air movers to control airflow

✔ Apply H-Class industrial vacuum cleaners and damping techniques to minimise fibre release

 

4. Professional Asbestos Removal

Our trained asbestos removal operatives wear full PPE, including respirators and follow strict decontamination procedures. We remove asbestos materials carefully to prevent fibre disturbance and ensure a safe work environment.

 

5. Waste Handling & Disposal

All asbestos waste is double-bagged, labeled, and transported in licenced hazardous waste containers. We dispose of ACMs at approved asbestos waste disposal sites, following the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005.

 

6. Air Monitoring & Clearance Testing

Once removal is complete, we conduct air monitoring and clearance testing with an independent UKAS-accredited analyst to confirm the area is asbestos-free. We then provide you with a clearance certificate for your records.
