Not all asbestos is created equal. Licensed asbestos materials are those deemed to pose the highest risk to health due to their friable nature – meaning they can easily release dangerous fibres when disturbed. Common examples include asbestos insulation board (AIB), asbestos lagging on pipes, sprayed asbestos coatings, and certain types of asbestos textiles. These materials require removal by an HSE-licensed contractor, like Asbestos in Homes (operating commercially as BESA PROPERTY SERVICES LTD), under stringently controlled conditions. Attempting to manage or remove these materials without proper training, equipment, and licensing is incredibly hazardous and illegal. Entrusting this critical work to our qualified professionals ensures the safety of everyone involved.

When dealing with licensed asbestos, our process prioritises safety above all else. For your Conisbrough property, we implement a meticulous, multi-stage approach for licensed asbestos work:

• Initial Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment to precisely identify the scope and nature of the licensed asbestos within your property.
• Controlled Containment: A sealed enclosure (containment area) is built around the work zone, featuring negative air pressure units with HEPA filters. This prevents any asbestos fibres from escaping into uncontaminated areas.
• Safe Removal: Our highly trained and equipped operatives, wearing specialist personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), carefully remove the asbestos materials using approved techniques to minimise fibre release.
• Rigorous Cleaning: The area undergoes a painstaking three-stage cleaning process, including HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping, to ensure all traces of asbestos dust are eliminated.
• Independent Air Testing: Following cleaning, an independent, UKAS-accredited analyst conducts a four-stage clearance test. This includes visual inspection and air monitoring to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation.
• Secure Asbestos Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, securely sealed, and transported in specially marked vehicles to a licensed hazardous waste facility for safe and compliant asbestos disposal, complete with consignment notes.
