Licensed asbestos refers to specific, high-risk asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that pose a significant health threat due to their friable nature. These materials, when disturbed, can easily release a large number of dangerous asbestos fibres into the air. Common examples include asbestos insulation board (AIB) often found in ceiling tiles, partitions, or soffits, as well as spray coatings, pipe lagging, and some textured decorative coatings. The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012) mandates that only HSE-licensed asbestos removal contractors, like Asbestos In Homes, can safely remove these materials. Attempting to remove licensed asbestos yourself is extremely dangerous and illegal, requiring specialist training, equipment, and strict safety protocols to protect everyone involved and prevent wider contamination.

When dealing with licensed asbestos removal in Horncastle, our process is meticulously planned and executed to ensure maximum safety and compliance. It begins with a detailed risk assessment and site-specific method statement. We establish a sealed containment area with negative pressure units to prevent fibre release, followed by thorough air monitoring. Our highly trained and experienced team, equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), then safely removes the asbestos material. Post-removal, a rigorous clean-up takes place, and an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory conducts a four-stage clearance test, including air testing, to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation. Finally, all hazardous waste is legally transported and disposed of at a licensed facility, with full waste consignment notes provided for your peace of mind.
