- Certified for Waste Handling: We hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you know all asbestos waste gets handled and disposed of legally and responsibly.
- Local, Experienced Team: Our technicians are fully trained and have many years of hands-on experience. They're skilled at identifying, managing, and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from all sorts of properties across the region.
- Straightforward Pricing: We give you clear, detailed quotes without any hidden costs. You'll understand exactly what the job involves before we even begin.

- Experts for All Properties: We have the skills and equipment to handle any project size, whether it's a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a complete site survey for a factory. We provide robust solutions throughout for your building and its inhabitants.
Knowing if and where asbestos is in your property, its type, and its condition is the essential first step. Our thorough asbestos surveys provide you with the information you need to manage any risks and comply with the law.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An important check before you buy a property. This identifies any potential hidden asbestos costs or health risks, giving you a clearer picture of your new building.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: This is a legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess their condition, and create a report and register. This helps 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 detailed, intrusive survey is legally required before you start. This ensures no asbestos is disturbed accidentally, preventing a serious cause of health issues.
- Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to monitor the condition of previously identified asbestos. This keeps your management plan up-to-date and effective.
If you've come across a material you suspect contains asbestos, it's vital not to disturb it. Doing so can release dangerous fibres into the air. Our qualified team can safely take a sample. We then send this to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis, giving you a definitive result and an official certificate. We commonly test materials such as:
- Textured coatings (like Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement, often 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
Safe & Responsible Asbestos Removal from Your Site
Our core service involves the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all types of properties. Our trained team follows strict procedures to contain the work area, remove the hazardous materials, and leave your property clean and safe. Remember, even "non-licensed" asbestos, like asbestos cement roofs or old floor tiles, is still hazardous and needs professional handling. Attempting DIY removal without proper training or equipment exposes you and others to dangerous asbestos dust.
- Domestic Removal: We specialise in removing asbestos from household areas like garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs, aiming for minimal disruption to your business operations.
- Industrial Removal: We handle larger-scale removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings. This ensures a safer environment throughout the industrial property.
If you already have asbestos that has been removed or dismantled, we also offer a professional collection service. We make sure it's correctly wrapped and transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility. You'll receive all the necessary legal paperwork (Hazardous Waste Consignment Note) for your records.
