Unlike lower-risk asbestos materials, licensed asbestos-containing materials are highly friable, meaning they can easily release dangerous fibres into the air when disturbed. These include materials like asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, sprayed coatings, and loose-fill insulation, often found in older Leicester properties. Attempting to remove these without specialist training, equipment, and containment is extremely dangerous and illegal. Our licensed asbestos removal service in Leicester is specifically designed for these high-risk scenarios, providing: * Unrivalled Safety: Full site containment, negative pressure units, and advanced personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent fibre release. * Absolute Compliance: Strict adherence to CAR 2012, including notifications to the HSE where required, and comprehensive documentation for every project. * Expert Team: Highly trained and certified operatives with extensive experience in safely dismantling, removing, and disposing of hazardous ACMs.

Our licensed asbestos removal process in Leicester is thorough and transparent, designed to manage every detail from initial assessment to final clearance. We prioritise safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption to your daily life or business operations. 1. Initial Survey & Risk Assessment: We conduct a detailed Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) survey or review existing surveys to precisely identify the scope and nature of the asbestos. This informs a comprehensive risk assessment and method statement. 2. HSE Notification (if required): For licensable works, we notify the HSE at least 14 days before work begins, as legally mandated. 3. Secure Containment: The work area is fully sealed using airtight enclosures, often with negative pressure units, to prevent any fibre migration outside the containment. 4. Safe Removal: Our operatives, using specialist equipment and RPE/PPE, carefully remove the asbestos material following approved techniques. 5. Hazardous Waste Disposal: All removed asbestos waste is double-bagged, sealed, labelled, and transported to a licensed hazardous waste facility, complete with consignment notes. 6. Four-Stage Clearance & Air Monitoring: For licensed works, an independent, UKAS-accredited analyst conducts a rigorous four-stage clearance process, including visual inspections and air testing, to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation. 7. Reoccupation Certificate: Upon successful clearance, a certificate is issued, granting permission to reoccupy the area, providing complete peace of mind.

Residents and businesses in Leicester rely on us for the safe removal of various high-risk asbestos materials. Our expertise covers, but is not limited to: * Asbestos Insulation Board (AIB): Commonly found in partition walls, ceiling tiles, fire breaks, and door facings. * Pipe Lagging: Used to insulate heating pipes and boilers, often highly friable. * Sprayed Coatings (Limpet Asbestos): Applied directly to structural steelwork for fire protection and insulation. * Asbestos Cement: While often non-licensable in good condition, extensive or poor condition removal may fall under licensed works. * Loose-Fill Asbestos: Highly dangerous, used as loft or cavity wall insulation.
