Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) should always be removed or remediated if they are considered to be in a poor condition, vulnerable to accidental disturbance or prior to any major refurbishment or demolition works. Any such asbestos containing materials can be located and identified in an asbestos survey report.
Prior to engaging the act of demolition, all known asbestos containing materials require removal under strictly controlled procedures or where feasible and appropriate, the materials are encapsulated to prevent fibre release.
Our operatives are trained in the removal of asbestos material not subject to licensed activity. Where the identified materials necessitate removal under license we utilise our partnering specialist asbestos removal contractors.
The purpose of this separation is twofold: -
Supplementary to the process of asbestos removal or abatement we provide disposal services for asbestos waste.
For guidance and health and safety considerations when encountering this type of material we refer you to the Health & Safety Executive’s dedicated website www.hse.gov.uk .
