Pinpointing where asbestos is, what type it is, and its condition is the crucial first step. Our comprehensive surveys give you all the information you need to manage risk and keep everything above board.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An absolute must-do check before you buy any property in Westminster. It helps uncover potential hidden asbestos costs and safety concerns. If your property was built or refurbished before 2000, there's a good chance it could contain asbestos, as it was a very common building material.
- 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 put together a report and register to help you manage them safely.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: This is a legally required, more intrusive survey that you must complete before any building work, refurbishment, or demolition starts.
- Re-inspections: We can arrange regular re-inspections to keep an eye on the condition of any asbestos we've found, helping you keep your management plan current.
If you've come across a material you suspect might contain asbestos, the most important thing is not to touch it. Our team can safely take a sample and send it off to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. This gives you a definite answer and a certificate for your records. We frequently test materials such as:
- Textured coatings (like Artex) on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement (often found in older utility cupboards, some external panels, or pipework)
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) – typically in older fireproofing or partition walls
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Safe and Expert Asbestos Removal for All Property Types
Our main service is the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from every kind of property. "Non-licensed" simply means these materials are lower risk and don't need a special HSE license to remove, like asbestos cement, floor tiles, or textured coatings. But don't be fooled – they are still hazardous and must only be handled by trained professionals. Our skilled team follows strict guidelines to seal off the area, carefully remove the materials, and ensure your property is spotless and secure afterwards.
- Domestic Removal: We expertly remove asbestos from older residential properties, including elements like ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, floor tiles, and some external components. While it's not illegal for a homeowner to remove small, non-licensed asbestos cement items, it’s extremely dangerous if not done right. We strongly advise using professionals to protect yourself and others from harmful fibres.
- Commercial Removal: From office renovations to retail shop fit-outs, we remove asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimal interruption to your daily business.
- Industrial Removal: We manage larger-scale removal of asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses and older industrial units if present in the Westminster area.
