Dealing with asbestos demands complete trust in your contractor. We understand this, and it’s why we’re dedicated to providing a service that’s safe, dependable, and totally transparent from start to finish.

• Completely Insured & Compliant: We hold full Public Liability Insurance. Every job we do strictly follows HSE guidelines and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), keeping you protected.
• Certified for Safe Disposal: We have a valid Waste Carriers Licence. This means all asbestos waste we handle is taken away and disposed of legally and responsibly, giving you peace of mind.
• Your Local, Experienced Blackwater Team: Our technicians are thoroughly trained and have years of hands-on experience. They know how to identify, manage, and safely remove asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from all sorts of properties, big or small.
• Clear, Upfront Pricing: You’ll get detailed quotes with no hidden costs. We make sure you know exactly what’s involved and how much it will be before any work begins.
• Full Service, Start to Finish: From that first inspection and testing, right through to safe removal, proper disposal, and even putting things back how they were, we handle the entire process for you.
• Experts for Any Property Type: We have the skills and equipment to tackle projects of any size – from a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed to a comprehensive site survey for a large factory. We serve domestic, commercial, and industrial clients.

Identifying exactly where asbestos might be, what type it is, and its condition is always the crucial first step. Our detailed surveys give you all the information you need to manage any risk and meet legal requirements.

• Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: Buying a new home? This is a vital check that can uncover hidden asbestos costs or potential safety issues before you commit.
• Asbestos Management Surveys: If you own or manage a non-domestic property, this is a legal requirement. We find any ACMs, check their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely over time.
• Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: Planning any building work, big or small? You must have this intrusive survey done before any construction, refurbishment, or demolition starts. It's a legal mandate to protect workers.
• Scheduled Re-inspections: We can regularly re-inspect previously identified asbestos. This keeps your management plan up to date, monitoring its condition and any changes.

If you've spotted a material in your home or business that you suspect contains asbestos, the most important thing is not to disturb it. Our team can safely take a sample for you. We then send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for thorough analysis, providing you with a clear, definitive result and a certificate. We often test materials like:

• Textured coatings, such as Artex, on ceilings and walls.
• Asbestos cement, commonly 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.
