Licensed Asbestos Removal

Fully Licensed Asbestos Removal by Crucial Environmental. We are licensed to carry out a full range of asbestos services to residential, industrial, schools and commercial properties across the UK from our bases in Sussex and Nottinghamshire.

In October 2023, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) granted us a full license for work with all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). This means we’re fully authorised to provide full asbestos removal, decontamination and encapsulation services.

Working with asbestos is often a process rather than a task – we provide a comprehensive management service throughout the removal and disposal of the material. This starts with initial surveys, testing sampling, before moving through to waste disposal and air quality monitoring to ensure that the property is free from asbestos fibres. Please contact us today for more details.

What is asbestos and where is it found?

You may have heard of asbestos without really understanding what it is or why you need manage it in your property. Asbestos is a naturally occurring material that was widely used in construction for its wide range of useful properties. Unfortunately, it was established that, while the material is useful, it is also highly damaging to human health. Long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to a number of very serious medical conditions including cancers.

It was banned from use entirely in the UK in 1999 – however, buildings built before can contain asbestos. Some common places that asbestos can be found include:

  • Cement
  • Roofing
  • Floor and roof tiles
  • Sprays and coatings such as Artex
  • Cisterns
  • Insulation
  • Guttering

About Licensed Asbestos Removal with our FAQ’s and Articles

What is Licensed Asbestos Removal?
Licensed asbestos removal involves the safe and controlled removal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that require a licence due to the high-risk nature of the work. Only licensed contractors, like Crucial Environmental, can carry out these tasks, ensuring compliance with strict safety regulations.
Why Do I Need a Licensed Contractor for Asbestos Removal?
Certain types of asbestos work, especially those involving higher risk materials like asbestos insulation or sprayed coatings, require a licensed contractor. These materials are more likely to release dangerous fibres when disturbed, necessitating specialised removal techniques, safety controls, and legal compliance.
What Types of Asbestos Require Licensed Removal?
Asbestos types that typically require licensed removal include sprayed asbestos coatings, pipe lagging, loose asbestos insulation, and asbestos insulating board (AIB). These materials are more friable, meaning they easily release fibres into the air when disturbed.
What Does the Licensed Asbestos Removal Process Involve?
The process includes an initial survey and risk assessment, setting up controlled work areas, using specialised equipment and protective gear, and carefully removing and disposing of the asbestos materials. Post-removal, air testing is conducted to ensure the area is safe for reoccupation.
Can Crucial Environmental Assist with Licensed Asbestos Removal?
Yes, Crucial Environmental is fully licensed and equipped to handle asbestos removal of high-risk materials. Our trained professionals follow all legal guidelines to ensure safe and efficient removal, protecting you and others from exposure to asbestos fibres.
How Long Does the Asbestos Removal Process Take?
The duration of the asbestos removal process depends on the extent of the work and the type of materials involved. A detailed plan is created during the initial assessment, outlining the time required for preparation, removal, and clearance.
Is Licensed Asbestos Removal Safe?
Yes, licensed asbestos removal is conducted under strict safety protocols, including containment, air filtration, and the use of protective equipment. Crucial Environmental adheres to all Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines to ensure the safety of both workers and occupants.
What Happens After Asbestos is Removed?
After removal, the area undergoes a thorough clean-up and air testing to ensure it is free from asbestos fibres. A clearance certificate is issued to confirm that the space is safe to use. Crucial Environmental provides a comprehensive report documenting the work completed.
How Do I Know If I Need Licensed Asbestos Removal?
If your property contains asbestos that is in poor condition, or if renovation or demolition work is planned, you may need licensed removal. Crucial Environmental can conduct an asbestos survey to identify the presence of high-risk materials and advise if licensed removal is necessary.
How Can I Book Licensed Asbestos Removal with Crucial Environmental?
You can schedule licensed asbestos removal by contacting Crucial Environmental through our website or by calling our office. Our team will guide you through the process, from initial assessment to completion, ensuring that all work is carried out to the highest standards.
