Learn about pipe lagging removal →Many Artex and textured ceiling coatings applied before 1984 contain chrysotile asbestos. While low-risk if undisturbed, sanding, drilling or renovation work releases fibres that must be managed by a specialist.

In most cases, yes. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 makes it a legal requirement to use an HSE-licensed contractor for the removal of notifiable licensed work — which includes asbestos insulating board, pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and certain other ACMs. Unlicensed removal of these materials is a criminal offence. AIB Solutions hold a current HSE asbestos licence, ensuring your project is fully lawful and protected.
Costs vary based on the type of ACM, the quantity, the access required and the location. Domestic removals (e.g. a single Artex ceiling or soffit board) can start from a few hundred pounds. Large commercial or industrial strip-outs are priced individually following a site survey. AIB Solutions provide free, no-obligation surveys and fully transparent, itemised quotations.

A small domestic removal — such as garage roof sheets, a soffit board or a single ceiling — typically takes half a day to one full day. Larger commercial or industrial projects can span several days to a few weeks depending on scope. AIB Solutions will agree a clear, realistic timeline as part of your written removal plan before any work begins.
For licenced asbestos removal work, the area must be sealed with a negative-pressure enclosure and air monitoring carried out throughout. In many cases occupants can remain in other parts of the property, but this depends on the location of the works and the type of material. AIB Solutions will advise you clearly on occupancy during your site survey and in your removal plan.
The minimum requirement for notifiable licensed work is a current HSE asbestos licence. Additionally, all supervisors must hold a relevant RSPH or BOHS asbestos qualification, and operatives must have completed HSE-approved asbestos removal training. The company must also be registered with the Environment Agency as a hazardous waste carrier. Learn more in our qualifications guide →
All removed ACMs are classified as hazardous waste under UK legislation. AIB Solutions double-wrap and seal all waste in clearly labelled, UN-approved asbestos waste sacks, transport it in a registered hazardous waste carrier vehicle and deposit it only at licensed hazardous waste disposal sites. You receive fully completed consignment notes for your records. Find out more about our asbestos waste collection service →
