How Asbestos Removal Works
Finding out that your property may contain asbestos is often a stressful discovery. Whether you are a homeowner or a business manager, understanding the steps we take to make your environment safe can help reduce that initial worry. We follow a strict, multi-stage process to ensure every fibre is contained and removed without risk to you or the public.
Our team begins by conducting a thorough inspection of the premises. We identify the exact location, the type of material, and its current state of repair. This allows us to create a bespoke safety plan and risk assessment that dictates the safest way to handle the removal based on your specific building layout.
For higher-risk asbestos materials, we have a legal obligation to inform the Health and Safety Executive before we begin any work. This statutory notice period ensures that the authorities are aware of the project and that it is being managed by a fully licensed and competent contractor.
To prevent the spread of dust, we isolate the work area using heavy-duty polythene sheeting and timber frames to build a secure enclosure. We also install negative pressure units that constantly filter the air, ensuring that air only flows into the work zone and never out into the rest of the building.
Our technicians use specialised hand tools and suppression techniques to extract the material. We typically apply a wetting agent to the asbestos before we touch it, as keeping the material damp is the most effective way to stop any microscopic fibres from becoming airborne during the removal.
As soon as a piece of asbestos is removed, it is placed into dedicated red and clear waste sacks. We use a double-bagging method where the first bag is sealed and then placed inside a second, thicker bag. This redundant layer of protection ensures that the hazardous waste is completely contained before it ever leaves the enclosure.
Once the bulk material is gone, we perform a meticulous cleaning of the entire work zone. This involves using H-class industrial vacuums equipped with high-efficiency filters designed to trap hazardous particles. We then follow this with a detailed damp-wipe of every surface to ensure no residue remains.
We never assume a job is finished based on a visual check alone. An independent laboratory technician will visit the site to perform a rigorous air monitoring test. They take air samples and examine them under a microscope to confirm the air is safe and clean. Only after they issue a certificate can the containment barriers be dismantled.
The final step is the secure transport of the waste to a facility that is specifically licensed to accept hazardous minerals. We handle all the environmental paperwork and provide you with a consignment note, which serves as your permanent legal proof of responsible and safe disposal.
Types of Asbestos We Can Remove
Asbestos was used in thousands of building products across the UK for most of the twentieth century. While there are several varieties, the following three types are the ones most frequently found in West Midlands properties.
Chrysotile (White Asbestos)
This is the most common form of asbestos and belongs to the serpentine mineral family. Its fibres are generally soft and flexible. You will frequently find white asbestos in products like corrugated roofing sheets on garages, floor tiles, water tanks, and decorative finishes such as Artex or textured ceiling coatings.
Amosite (Brown Asbestos)
Brown asbestos is a more hazardous variety with sharp, needle-like fibres. It was highly valued for its heat resistance and strength. It is commonly found in thermal insulation products, including ceiling tiles, internal partition walls, and the fire-resistant boards found behind old boilers and heaters or lining airing cupboards.
Crocidolite (Blue Asbestos)
Considered the most dangerous of the three due to its extremely thin and brittle fibres, blue asbestos was often used in high-temperature industrial settings. It is most likely to be found in the spray-on insulation used to protect structural steel beams, as well as in pipe lagging and certain types of heavy-duty rope seals or gaskets.
