Asbestos & Hazard Removal

According to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), asbestos is the greatest single cause of work related deaths in the UK, responsible for around 4,000 deaths per year – a figure projected to rise to 15,000 per year by 2017. Building owners and operators have a legal obligation under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 to manage asbestos in their premises to protect the health and safety of tenants, employees, visitors and contractors. Other hazards that may require addressing include lead paint, guano accumulation, ventilation hygiene, contaminated soil and general environmental cleanliness. In certain cases the most effective way to manage a hazard is to remove it completely. Our management team can also assist with preparation of pre tender budgets and provide advice on specifications and planning.

Asbestos removal is a highly regulated area. Licences are only granted after very careful vetting by the HSE. Our processes are audited regularly by a number of independent bodies to ensure that we consistently deliver a service which surpasses industry best practise. Our exemplary Health and Safety statistics demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of our people, our clients and the general public. Utilising state of the art CCTV systems for enclosure monitoring, our fully employed and security cleared site teams remove asbestos safely and efficiently before disposal at specially licensed landfill sites.

At Asbestech, we have been helping our clients to safely remove asbestos and other hazards since the early 1980’s. Our highly skilled and experienced management team employ state of the art working methods and always ensure that we don’t compromise on our priorities of safety, quality and performance. We understand the importance and the concern around asbestos and hazard removal, and this is reflected in the way that we work and the way that we conduct ourselves on site. Completing work under either controlled or semi-controlled conditions, we take responsibility for any required HSE and Environment Agency notifications and we can also arrange for compliance and clearance testing when requested. With all activities that we undertake, we measure our environmental impact and take steps to reduce this whenever possible.
