When you're dealing with something as serious as asbestos, you really need a contractor you can completely trust. We're dedicated to giving you a safe, reliable, and clear service from your first call right through to the finish.
- Fully Insured & Compliant: We carry full Public Liability Insurance, and we always complete our work in strict line with HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012). Your safety and peace of mind are always our top priority.
- Certified & Responsible: We hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you can be confident that all asbestos waste is handled and disposed of legally and responsibly, protecting both you and the environment.
- Local & Experienced Team: Our technicians are all fully trained and have years of practical experience in identifying, managing, and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from all kinds of properties right here in Luton and beyond.
- Clear Pricing: We provide detailed, honest quotes with absolutely no hidden fees. You'll know exactly what the job involves and what it will cost before we even begin.
- Comprehensive Service: From that initial inspection and testing, all the way through to safe removal, secure disposal, and any necessary reinstatement work, we take care of the entire process for you.
- Experts for All Property Types: We have the skills and equipment to manage projects of any size, from a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed to a full site survey for a large factory building.
Knowing the exact location, type, and condition of any asbestos is the absolutely crucial first step. Our thorough surveys give you all the information you need to manage any risks and comply with the law, keeping everyone safe.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: This is a vital check before you buy a property. It helps identify any potential hidden asbestos costs or safety risks, giving you full peace of mind.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any ACMs, assess their condition, and create a comprehensive report and register to help you manage them safely, meeting your legal duties as a landlord or business owner under CAR 2012.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you're planning any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work, a legally mandated, intrusive survey must be completed beforehand. This ensures that no hidden asbestos is disturbed, preventing dangerous fibre release.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out scheduled re-inspections to monitor the condition of any previously identified asbestos, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.
If you have found a material you think might contain asbestos, it’s really important not to disturb it. Our team can safely take a sample and send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This provides you with a definitive result and a certificate, removing any doubt. We often test materials like:
- Textured coatings (often known as Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement (found in garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters)
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Many properties built or refurbished before the year 2000 are likely to contain asbestos, as it was a very common building material for decades. The only way to be 100% sure is through professional testing.
Safe & Certified Asbestos Removal in Luton
Our main service involves the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all types of properties. Our highly trained team strictly follows detailed procedures to contain the affected area, carefully remove the materials, and leave your property clean and safe. This 'non-licensed' category includes common materials like asbestos cement, floor tiles, and textured coatings, which still pose a health risk if disturbed and must be handled by qualified professionals.
- Domestic Removal: We specialise in removing asbestos from homes in Luton, including garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we safely remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimum disruption to your business operations.
- Industrial Removal: We manage large-scale removal projects involving asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings.
We follow strict HSE guidelines for safe removal, ensuring proper containment, air monitoring where necessary, and secure packaging. All asbestos waste is then transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility. Trying to remove asbestos yourself, even small amounts, is extremely hazardous without the right training, equipment, and disposal methods, risking dangerous fibre exposure to yourself and others. We always recommend using a professional team.
