Asbestos removal requires specialist expertise and equipment. It should only be carried out by highly trained and monitored operatives and it can be complex, but we will safely remove and dispose of all asbestos prior to demolition with minimum disruption and in accordance with Asbestos Regulations and Health and Safety regulations.

Asbestos is a mineral which has been mined commercially since the late 1800’s. It gained wide use in the construction industry due to its thermal and electrical insulation properties. In 2005 the use of asbestos was banned throughout the EU due to its hazardous effects. The fibres in asbestos, if inhaled, can get into the lung tissue and cause disease which may be fatal.

All of our operatives are trained in Asbestos Awareness, and we also have a team of operatives trained in the removal of Non-Licensed Asbestos. For the removal of Licensed Asbestos we use the services of a specialist partner Hawkins Insulation Limited who holds a full HSE asbestos licence. For more information on Hawkins Insulation Limited’s services please see their website.
