You can't tell just by looking. We have to send materials to a lab for testing. If your home was built or had major work done before the year 2000, it's always best to assume asbestos might be there until we prove otherwise. So, best to leave suspect materials untouched.

Honestly, we strongly advise against it. Asbestos is a dangerous material. Removing it without the right training, safety gear (like respirators and protective clothing), and proper containment can release harmful fibres into the air. This puts you and your family at serious risk. Plus, you can't just put asbestos waste in your normal household bins – that's against the law.

It's all about the risk level. Lower-risk materials, like asbestos cement sheeting, are "non-licensed." While still needing trained professionals, they're less likely to release fibres. "Licensed" materials, such as asbestos insulation board (AIB) or pipe lagging, are more crumbly and much riskier. Only an HSE-licensed contractor, working under very strict conditions, can remove these. We're qualified for both.

If you own or manage any non-domestic building built before 2000, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 say you have a "duty to manage" asbestos. This means finding it through a survey, creating a plan to manage it, and making sure nobody disturbs it. We can handle this entire compliance process for you, taking the weight off your shoulders.

If you own or manage commercial property in Lincoln, the law (specifically the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, or CAR 2012) puts a "duty to manage" asbestos on you. This means you’re responsible for identifying if asbestos is present, assessing its condition, and making sure it doesn't pose a risk to anyone on your premises. Not following these rules can lead to serious fines or even imprisonment, quite apart from the health risks. We, through BESA Property Services Ltd, help you meet these legal duties head-on.

For commercial clients, there are two main types. A Management Survey is the usual one for buildings that are currently in use. It helps you find and manage accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) so you can put a plan in place. However, if you're planning any refurbishment, demolition, or even just significant maintenance work, you'll need a Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Survey. This is much more intrusive, digging into the building's structure to find all hidden ACMs before any work starts, keeping your project safe and compliant.

Not necessarily, but many commercial removal jobs do fall under "licensed" work. This depends on the type of asbestos, its condition, and the level of risk involved. For instance, removing highly friable materials like asbestos insulation board or pipe lagging will almost always be licensed work, meaning only an HSE-licensed contractor like BESA Property Services Ltd can do it. Removing less hazardous materials, like asbestos cement sheets, might be "non-licensed," but still requires specially trained, competent professionals. We handle both, always ensuring the right level of control and safety.

Your safety and compliance are our top priority. We start by using UKAS-accredited laboratories for all testing to ensure accurate results. Our team is highly trained and experienced, strictly following CAR 2012 and HSE guidelines. For any licensed removal, we establish sealed enclosures, use negative pressure units, and conduct thorough air monitoring throughout the process. We finish with a four-stage clearance test and a reoccupation certificate, confirming the area is safe. All hazardous waste is legally transported and disposed of, with full documentation provided for your records.

Your absolute first step should be to arrange a comprehensive Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Survey with BESA Property Services Ltd. This survey is legally required before any intrusive work can begin. It will identify all asbestos-containing materials, including those hidden within the building fabric. This early detection allows you to plan for safe removal before contractors arrive, preventing dangerous exposure, costly delays, and legal issues.

Absolutely. Beyond initial surveys and removal, we specialise in creating and maintaining robust Asbestos Management Plans for businesses and landlords. This includes setting up an asbestos register, regularly re-inspecting identified ACMs to monitor their condition, and providing advice on encapsulation or safe maintenance. We help you stay compliant with your "duty to manage" year after year, offering peace of mind and protecting your building's occupants.
