When asbestos is a concern, you need a contractor you can completely trust. At Southern Asbestos, your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities. We are committed to giving you a safe, reliable, and straightforward service from start to finish.

• Fully Insured & Compliant: We carry full Public Liability Insurance. All work we do strictly follows HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. You are always covered.
• Qualified & Responsible: We hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence. This means all asbestos waste we handle gets disposed of legally and responsibly, protecting you and the environment.
• Local & Experienced Team: Our technicians are fully trained and have years of hands-on experience. They know how to identify, manage, and safely remove asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a huge range of Borehamwood properties.
• Transparent Pricing: You’ll receive clear, detailed quotes with no hidden fees. You will know exactly what the job involves before we even begin.
• Complete Asbestos Management: From the initial inspection and testing right through to safe removal, disposal, and any necessary reinstatement work, we manage the entire process for you.
• Domestic, Commercial & Industrial Experts: We have the skills and equipment to handle projects of any size. This could be a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a full site survey for a factory.

Pinpointing the location, type, and condition of asbestos is the most important first step. Our thorough surveys give you the information you need to manage risk effectively and follow the law.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: This is an essential check before you buy a property in Borehamwood. It helps identify potential hidden asbestos costs and safety risks, giving you crucial information.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a report and register. This helps you manage them safely and responsibly.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: This legally mandated, intrusive survey must be completed before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work begins. It protects workers and prevents dangerous fibre release.
• Regular Re-inspections: If you already have identified asbestos, we can carry out scheduled re-inspections. This monitors the condition of the material, making sure your management plan stays up to date.

If you have found a material in your Borehamwood property that you suspect contains asbestos, please do not disturb it. Our team can safely take a sample. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for expert analysis, giving you a definitive result and certificate. We commonly test materials such as:

• Textured coatings (often called Artex) on ceilings and walls
• Asbestos cement – think garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
• Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
• Pipe lagging and boiler flues
