Construction Asbestos Removal & Licensed Waste Clearance.

Yes. CAR 2012 clearly states that a Refurbishment and Demolition survey is a mandatory requirement before these types of works begin in any building constructed before 2000. Proceeding without one is a criminal offence. We arrange surveys through our trusted surveying partners.

We can usually mobilise within 48 hours once RAMS are approved. For licensable work, the statutory 14-day HSE notification period must first be complete. We recommend securing your slot 3–4 weeks ahead to allow for planning and documentation preparation on larger projects.

It can, with careful planning. We phase our works to protect strip-out teams — work areas are clearly segregated and, for licensed work, sealed enclosures are erected under negative pressure. We will work with your programme to identify the most efficient sequencing.

Works are stopped, the area isolated, samples taken for analysis and a revised Plan of Work submitted before continuation. We act quickly to minimise programme disruption — fast sample analysis through our trusted UKAS-accredited laboratory means you're not waiting long for results.

Yes. We assess, segregate and remove asbestos-contaminated soils in line with current guidance and provide full waste transfer documentation. Essential for brownfield redevelopment and enabling works on demolition sites.

Prior to works you receive a Method Statement and Risk Assessment. On completion: site records, air test certificates, four-stage clearance certificate confirming the area is safe, and Environment Agency waste consignment notes. Everything your CDM Health & Safety file requires.

Absolutely. Our primary aim is to work around you and keep your project on track. Out-of-hours and weekend working is available — just let us know when you're planning and we'll build it into the programme.

In some cases encapsulation — sealing the asbestos rather than removing it — is a viable and practical option, especially where removal is not practicable within the project constraints. We'll advise you on the most sensible approach for your specific situation.

Sheets are wetted down and carefully removed intact wherever possible, lowered to the ground and placed into a sealed skip ready for licensed disposal. Wetting prevents fibre release during handling and is a standard requirement under CAR 2012 guidance.

Absolutely. We liaise with all parties to ensure you have everything you need at every stage of the project — from pre-qualification documentation through to handover. We're used to working as a sub-contractor within larger principal contractor frameworks.
