Licensed asbestos refers to the most dangerous and friable forms of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which readily release harmful fibres when disturbed. Unlike lower-risk asbestos cement products, these high-risk materials pose a significant threat to health. This category primarily includes asbestos insulation board (AIB) used in ceilings, walls, and partition boards, pipe lagging, loose-fill insulation, and certain spray coatings. Due to their friable nature, these materials necessitate removal by an HSE-licensed contractor under stringent, controlled conditions. Attempting to remove licensed asbestos without proper training, equipment, and containment is illegal and extremely hazardous. We ensure all procedures meet or exceed the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012).

When engaging Asbestos in Homes for licensed asbestos removal in Grantham, you benefit from a meticulous, multi-stage process designed for maximum safety and compliance:

• Detailed Assessment: Our journey begins with a thorough survey to precisely identify the scope and nature of the licensed asbestos. This informs a detailed risk assessment and tailored removal plan.
• Secure Site Containment: We establish exclusion zones and create sealed enclosures, often with negative pressure units, to prevent any fibre release beyond the work area. This critical step ensures surrounding areas remain uncontaminated.
• Specialised Removal Techniques: Our operatives, equipped with advanced personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), carefully remove the ACMs using wet stripping techniques to minimise airborne fibres.
• Rigorous Air Monitoring: Throughout the removal, and particularly after, independent UKAS-accredited laboratories conduct stringent air testing to confirm airborne fibre levels are within safe limits.
• Meticulous Clean-up: Following removal, the containment area undergoes a thorough clean, including specialist HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping, ensuring all visible traces of asbestos are eradicated.
• Four-Stage Clearance: For licensed works, an independent analyst performs a critical four-stage clearance process, culminating in a reoccupation certificate, confirming the area is safe for return.
• Compliant Waste Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, sealed, and transported by licensed carriers to approved hazardous waste sites, with full documentation (waste consignment notes) provided.
