We also hold a valid Waste Carriers Licence, so you know all asbestos waste gets handled and disposed of legally and responsibly. Our technicians are fully trained and have years of hands-on experience identifying, managing, and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from all sorts of properties, big or small. We provide clear, detailed quotes without any hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. From your first inspection and any necessary testing right through to removal, safe disposal, and even putting things back how they were, we handle the entire process for you. We are experts whether you need help with a single asbestos sheet in a garden shed or a full site survey for a factory.
Understanding if asbestos is present, what type it is, and its condition is the vital first step for any property owner. Our thorough surveys give you the information you need to manage risk and meet your legal duties. If your building was constructed or had major work done before the year 2000, there's a good chance it could contain asbestos, as it was a very common material from the 1950s to the 1990s.
- Home Buyer Asbestos Surveys: An essential check before you buy a property. This identifies any potential hidden asbestos issues, helping you avoid unexpected costs and safety risks down the line.
- Asbestos Management Surveys: A legal requirement for all non-domestic properties. We find any asbestos-containing materials, assess their condition, and create a report and register to help you manage them safely over time.
- Refurbishment & Demolition Surveys: If you plan any construction, refurbishment, or demolition work, a legally mandated, intrusive survey must happen beforehand. This ensures no asbestos gets disturbed unintentionally.
- Asbestos Re-inspections: We can carry out regular re-inspections to keep an eye on the condition of any identified asbestos, making sure your management plan remains current and effective.
If you have found a material you suspect might contain asbestos – please, don't touch it. Our expert team can safely take a sample from the suspected material and send it to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for a definitive analysis. This gives you a clear result and an official certificate. We regularly test materials that often contain asbestos, such as:
- Textured coatings like Artex found on ceilings and walls
- Asbestos cement often used for garage roofs, wall panels, soffits, and gutters
- Vinyl floor tiles and their backing paper
- Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB)
- Pipe insulation and boiler flues
Safe Asbestos Removal for Windsor Properties
Our main service involves the safe removal of non-licensed asbestos from all kinds of properties. Our specially trained team follows strict safety procedures. We carefully contain the work area, remove the materials, and then leave your property clean and safe. While it’s not illegal for a homeowner to remove very small amounts of non-licensed asbestos cement themselves, it's extremely hazardous if you don't do it correctly. Without the proper training, equipment (like PPE and RPE), and disposal methods, you risk exposing yourself and others to dangerous fibres. We always recommend using a professional. "Non-licensed" asbestos refers to materials that are lower risk and don't need a special HSE licence to remove, such as asbestos cement, floor tiles, and textured coatings. Remember, even these materials are still hazardous and need handling by trained professionals.
- Domestic Removal: We regularly remove asbestos from garages, sheds, outbuildings, soffits and fascias, floor tiles, and old cement water tanks.
- Commercial Removal: From office refurbishments to retail fit-outs, we take away asbestos cement panels, ceiling tiles, and other ACMs with minimum disruption to your business operations.
- Industrial Removal: We manage larger-scale removal projects, like asbestos cement roofing and cladding on warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings.
