Asbestos Removal Services

The determination is based on the type of asbestos material and its condition. Generally, higher-risk materials like pipe insulation, sprayed coatings, and asbestos insulating board require licensed removal due to their friable nature and potential to release significant fibers when disturbed. Lower-risk materials like asbestos cement products, floor tiles, and some textured coatings can often be removed under non-licensed conditions. The definitive classification comes from a professional asbestos survey, which we can provide if you're uncertain.

Timeframes vary significantly depending on the scope and complexity of the removal work. Small-scale projects like garage roof removal might take 1-2 days, while more complex licensed removal projects in larger properties can take several weeks. For licensed work, the process includes enclosure construction, removal, cleaning, and independent clearance testing. During your initial consultation, we provide a detailed timeline specific to your project after assessing the scope of work required.

This depends on the nature and location of the asbestos materials being removed. For licensed work involving friable materials, we typically recommend temporary relocation from the affected areas or the entire property if the work is extensive. For external asbestos cement removal (like garage roofs), you can usually remain in the property while work proceeds. In multi-occupancy buildings, we can often isolate the work area to allow continued occupancy in unaffected areas. We'll discuss accommodation requirements during the planning phase.

For all asbestos removal work, we provide a Completion Certificate confirming the asbestos has been removed in accordance with regulations. You'll also receive Waste Consignment Notes documenting the legal disposal of asbestos waste. For licensed removal work, we additionally provide Air Clearance Certificates from independent analysts confirming the area is safe for reoccupation. This documentation package is important for property records and may be required during future property transactions.
