Not all asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) require a licensed contractor for removal, but those that pose the greatest risk due to their friable (easily crumbled) nature certainly do. In Howden properties, these commonly include:

• Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB): Found in walls, ceilings, partitions, and soffits, often hidden within the building structure.
• Asbestos Pipe Lagging: Encasing pipes for insulation, typically in boiler rooms, plant rooms, or underfloor voids.
• Sprayed Coatings: Often applied to structural steelwork or concrete for fire protection, insulation, or anti-condensation purposes.
• Asbestos Millboard, paper, and textiles: Used in various applications, including gaskets, linings, and electrical insulation.

These high-risk asbestos materials demand the specialised skills and controlled environments that only licensed asbestos removal specialists can provide.

Our approach to licensed asbestos removal in Howden is thorough, transparent, and designed for complete safety. Here's what homeowners and commercial asbestos clients can expect:

1. Detailed Survey & Risk Assessment: Before any work begins, we conduct an intrusive asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey to pinpoint all ACMs and develop a precise plan.
2. Site Containment: We establish a fully enclosed and negative pressure controlled environment to prevent fibre release beyond the work area.
3. Safe Removal: Our operatives, using specialised personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE), meticulously remove the asbestos materials.
4. Air Monitoring & Clearance: Independent, UKAS-accredited laboratories perform stringent asbestos air testing and monitoring during and after removal, culminating in a four-stage clearance test to certify the area is safe for reoccupation.
5. Secure Disposal: All asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, and transported by licensed carriers to approved hazardous waste sites, with waste consignment notes provided for full accountability. This comprehensive asbestos management strategy ensures total peace of mind for our Howden clients.
