All aspects of asbestos management and removal covered

We provide fast, cost-effective and reliable solutions to issues arising from asbestos in residential and commercial properties throughout the local areas.

Did you know that asbestos still kills around 5000 people every year? Since 1999, using any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in buildings or construction projects has been illegal. However, that does not mean there is no longer a risk of asbestos because many buildings built or refurbished before this time may still contain asbestos.

We take the utmost care to protect our staff, customers, and the public and adhere to strict professional standards and guidelines. We are known for our attention and care in everything we do.

What is asbestos: Should I be concerned?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral which is mined from the ground. It is made up of tiny fibres, and when these are released into the air, they can be inhaled and cause a host of diseases, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.

Asbestos encapsulation

If asbestos is in good condition, removing it is not always necessary. However, carrying out asbestos encapsulation to manage asbestos in situ may be more cost-effective and safer. This will seal and protect the asbestos, so fibres cannot be released into the air.

Sussex removal of Chrysotile and asbestos garages

Asbestos sheds, garages and outbuildings were very popular during the 1940s to the 1980s. Cheap asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) meant that homeowners could easily build garages made of asbestos cement panels placed onto a timber or iron frame.
Some garages or sheds just contain asbestos roofs.

Our asbestos removal specialists can remove any outbuilding constructed with ACMs, leaving behind a concrete slab or walls. Whether you are looking to have an asbestos garage removed in full or just your asbestos roof, we can help. Our team can replace all asbestos garage roofs with replacement roofs, and we can advise you regarding the different options.

Why are Asbestos Management Surveys in Sussex important?

Our independent asbestos surveyors work with domestic and commercial clients across the Sussex areas to ensure that all your needs are met. We specialise in all asbestos surveys and are fully insured, offering you complete confidence in our services.

Asbestos Management Surveys are the minimum survey that can carry out by law. These will locate the presence of any ACMs and show the extent of these within a building. Any potential risks of disturbance or damage during everyday occupancy are also noted. An Asbestos Management Survey forms the basis of an Asbestos Register and Management Plan to ensure you comply with legal requirements.

We can also provide Asbestos Re-inspection Surveys to regularly inspect known asbestos materials. The frequency of this survey will depend on the amount, type, and condition of any asbestos materials that have been identified.

Surrey Asbestos R&D Surveys or Type 3 Surveys

Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys are a legal requirement under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and Construction, Design and Management Regulations 2007. Before any work can start on site, it is always advised to complete this survey as early as possible because certain asbestos materials are categorised as licenced by the Health and Safety Executive. This means that before any asbestos removal services can begin a 14-day notification period is mandatory alongside other formal notification of works.

An Asbestos Refurbishment and Demolition Surveys is fully intrusive and will involve destructive inspection to gain access to all areas, including those that might be hard to reach. We can also complete demolitions and soft strip-outs.

Asbestos sampling & testing in Sussex laboratories

Sometimes a complete asbestos survey is not required, and there may only be one or two suspected areas. We can also provide asbestos sampling and testing services in Sussex. Our asbestos surveyors will come and take a sample, which will be sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for testing.

UKAS-accredited laboratories can determine, isolate and calculate the amount of any type of asbestos. There are six main types of asbestos - Chrysotile, Amosite, Tremolite, Crocidolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite. Read our blog: Easy guide to the different types of asbestos.
