Not all asbestos materials are created equal; some pose a significantly higher risk if disturbed. This is where licensed asbestos removal becomes absolutely critical. High-risk asbestos refers to friable materials that can easily release dangerous fibres into the air when disturbed, even minimally. Common examples include asbestos insulation board (AIB), pipe lagging, certain spray coatings, and some loose fill insulations. Due to the severe health implications, only HSE licensed contractors like Asbestos In Homes are legally permitted to work with these materials. Attempting to remove high-risk asbestos yourself is extremely dangerous and illegal. Our team possesses the specialised training, equipment, and protocols necessary for compliant asbestos removal, safeguarding everyone involved.

Your safety is our paramount concern when carrying out licensed asbestos removal in Matlock. Our methodical approach ensures every project is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism:

• Initial Assessment: We begin with thorough asbestos surveys and testing to accurately identify and assess the high-risk materials present.
• Controlled Containment: A sealed enclosure, often featuring negative pressure units, is established around the work area to prevent fibre release into other parts of your Matlock property.
• Expert Removal: Our highly trained and certified asbestos specialists use approved techniques and personal protective equipment (PPE) to carefully remove the hazardous materials.
• Air Monitoring: Throughout the process, UKAS-accredited air testing is conducted to monitor fibre levels and ensure the integrity of the containment.
• Meticulous Clean-up: Following removal, the area undergoes a rigorous three-stage clean to ensure no residual fibres remain.
• Four-Stage Clearance: For all licensed works, a final independent UKAS-accredited four-stage clearance test is performed to confirm the area is safe for reoccupation.
• Safe Disposal: All asbestos waste is securely double-bagged, transported, and disposed of at a licensed hazardous waste facility, with full waste consignment notes provided.
